Spontaneous Morning

Last night, Courtney from KidTalk sent me an email to let me know that we would not be having KidTalk this morning.  I was glad to have a day off.  It's been a pretty busy week.  I thought I was going to hang around in my jammies all day, but Suzy texted me to see if I wanted to go to Jennifer's "Music With Mar" class at 10:00. This was at 8:45 and we had to leave the house by 9:40 to make it on time.  So, I got us dressed and we actually made it there on time! It was a VERY small group today. Just Jen's daughter, Delaney, Suzy's son, Owen and our little Etta. 

Etta had a great time playing in the bubbles and tapping her wooden sticks and playing with all of the musical instruments and marching around the room in a little parade.  I forgot my camera today, but Suzy had her iPhone, so we were able to get a few shots.

After the music class, Jen had to run to get Molly from school and Suzy and I went to Chick-fil-A for lunch.  The place was PACKED!  I've never seen THIS location this packed at 11:15, but it was!  After a few minutes, it occurred to me that there were a lot of school age children in there and then they seemed to leave around the same time.  Field trip?  I don't know, but we were able to find a booth and we took turns ordering our food.  I got some chicken for Etta, but the last couple of times I took E to Chick-fil-A, she didn't want to eat it.  This time, she ate about 5 nuggets and a couple of those waffle fries!  She ate more than I thought she would and would have kept eating, but we ran out.  It's always a good day for me when Etta eats well, and lately she has been!

When we got home, Etta took a nap.  She fell asleep as soon as I put her in bed! Another miracle, because lately she's been running around the room for an hour or more before passing out. It's always a good day when Etta takes a good nap! ;)

After her nap, we went up to play in her playroom.  This is what that room looks like after a good afternoon of playing!

Then, for dinner, I cooked a frozen pizza.  Etta loves pizza, but I usually feed it to her.  Usually, I hold the pizza and she takes bites off of it.  Today, I decided to put the whole slice on her plate to see if she would feed it to herself properly.  She totally did!  It was really cute when she held that big piece of pizza and took bites off of the end of it.  She's getting to be such a big girl and she's just so damn cute!

She likes to wipe her own mouth too. ;)

She ate a slice and a half.  yum!
