Just Playing and Having Fun

For those of you who don't know already, I've decided to be a stay-at-home mom this year. I'm working on my doctorate of education and watching Allie-Ann which has been a wonderful blessing. It was a hard decision to leave the classroom but it is one that I felt lead to do. I'm having such a great time being at home with her, we have been working on a schedule (you know me, I have to have everything organized), so she wakes up we have breakfast and then it's playtime for an hour (I'm teaching her how to draw), I found these great white board crayons (non-toxic) and they wipe off with a paper towel, they're great. Then we take a walk around the neighborhood to the church playground to play for awhile. After that we come home for a snack and have playtime for another hour, this is independent play so mommy can read. Then it's lunchtime and nap for 2hours. She wakes up and she has a snack and it's playtime again. Then before Daddy gets home we go out to swing and play in the yard. Surprisingly the day goes by pretty fast. I just love the fact that she is with me now and that I can see her grow. Here are some pictures of her playing at the church and with her cousin Lottie.
