A Little Zoologist

8.22.2011
Knowing Violet's love of animals, we thought the perfect day trip would be to visit the zoo. I think it may have been the highlight of her summer. She squealed and screamed, pointed and waved. The look of wonder on her face was immeasurable. I wish I could have captured her joy and saved it forever. The day had to come to and end, but we'll always have the memories:















I love you my joyful little zoologist.

XOXO,

Mommy

Annoyed.

A post that I worked on for a couple of hours and finished now seems to be only half complete (and I saved it people!) Frustrating.

AND Disqus seems to have suddenly stopped working on my blog. I didn't change anything so I'm not sure what's going on. Sorry if you've tried to leave a comment. Just letting you know that I'm working on it!

Today is not my day.

Trying to Break Out of Denial

So I've kind of been in denial about the fact that I'm heading back to work on Monday. The Hubster will still be home with Violet for another week before she goes back to her (very awesome) babysitter. I love my job and I love our babysitter, but I still wish I could be home with my little girl. I'm really going to miss her and the idea of her being anywhere for 8-9 hours a day without me is tough.

 (Right after waking up with paci marks on her little cheeks)

I've been trying to get my mind into work mode this weekend so it won't hopefully be quite as shocking when I leave the house on Monday morning. I've been picking out my outfits for the week (kind of fun!), getting some information together for the babysitter, and I just ordered Violet her first lunchbox! I went with the Goodbyn original in raspberry (yum!):



I love that it has separate compartments, it's dishwasher safe, and can even house a banana and small thermos! I'm hoping that it will eventually make her lunch feel special as she won't be able to eat a lot of what the other kids are eating. And she's a little young for notes, but if it lasts a few years I can put special messages in a separate compartment as well.

I discovered it over on Bleubird and used her discount code to get an additional 15% off the price. Do any of you have a Goodbyn? Do you like it? I'm really excited to start packing her lunches!
