Dipping in the fountain. . .

This morning Cupcakes was still sleeping soundly when Mama went to wake her up. She gestured for milk. After she had some milk, she gestured for the pacifier. Was she going to be asleep on the way to school like Mama used to do through second grade? She woke up. Mama changed her diaper and dressed her. As soon as Mama put her in front of the mirror, she smiled really big at Mama. What a way for Mama to start her day!

It was chilly enough this morning that Mama put Stuart's coat with mouse ears on Cupcakes on the way to daycare. Cupcakes cried on and off during the day. From the report Mama noticed that Cupcakes took 5 30-minute naps. Good job, baby! That's a lot better than the 3-5 20-minute naps. They were surprised that Cupcakes did not cry more for having had three and half days off. Mama hopes that Cupcakes is getting used to daycare.

Cupcakes started crying about twenty minutes before Mama got there to pick her up at the end of the day. As soon as she saw Mama, she stopped crying. She misses Mama during the day.

On the way home Mama gave Cupcakes the foot teether just like the one she likes at daycare. Cupcakes is holding and biting. Mama tried giving Cupcakes the zwieback toast as Dr. Roberts (Mama's dentist) suggested the other day, and Cupcakes licked the toast instead of biting on them to thin out her gum, making it easier for the teeth to pop through later. Auntie Iris got Cupcakes some more of the toast. We will try again later. Auntie Iris also got Cupcakes some pink soothie pacifiers. They are supposedly very good. Thank you very much, Auntie Iris!!

When we got home Daddy asked to dip Cupcakes' feet in the water. Mama had the same idea. We did, and Cupcakes enjoyed it! Today she seemed to have enjoyed her shower the most of all times, too.
