Lollipop Love

We've just recently introduced Kate to lollipops.  They are her new love!  She calls them "pops", and she gets SO EXCITED when she has one!

(Note: Please excuse the blurry/non-blurry moments.  Our camera has a mind of its own and auto-focuses randomly while you take a video...)

What a sweetheart!

That is lollipop love!

In other news, Kate's school has been celebrating Earth Day this week!  They have been learning about the Earth, doing Earth day art, and making things that are Earth friendly!  Today she came home with a hand planted flower and it is the prettiest flower I have ever seen!  This is the first time Kate has come home with something like this and it was the sweetest surprise.  Seeing her hold that little flower in the milk container nearly melted my heart!  My baby is getting SO big!

A lovely way to celebrate the Earth!

Kate helps re-adjust her name stick!

Only Mother Earth creates a yellow so perfect!

These types of things are some of the reasons we love the daycare that Kate attends.  It is harder than I have the words to describe to have someone else watch/raise my baby when I am away at work.  Trust me, if I had it my way, I'd be doing the watching/raising 24/7!  But this is the situation that we are in, I have to work, and having a place like Kate's current daycare makes it a teensy bit easier to let go of the reigns while I fulfill my adult responsibilities.

Perhaps one day things will be different, but, for now they aren't, and I plan to cherish these simple projects that Kate brings home.  They are such a nice surprise after a long day at work!
