Tonight we had dinner with Aunt Jill and friends at Purple Cow. Jordan has been asking about her friend, Elio, for awhile now and wanted to see him. We met Elio and his Mom along with Jill at the Cow and had a great time. It is always nice to catch up with others and find out how they are doing. I have been down now for a couple of weeks between work and our friend/neighbor passing away. It is weird because I can usually shake it. Anyhow Monday at work was really hectic and stressful. I remember driving and just thinking, thinking, thinking. I got to the school to pick up my girls and my whole mood changed. I realized later Monday night after laughing and having fun with my girls and my husband that my home life is truly a whole other world and one I'm so blessed to have.
Today when I got to the school to pick up the girls, I followed my usual routine of walking through a classroom to get outside to get Jordan. At that time of day, she is always out on the playground. The classroom I walk through is next to the gym where Katelyn is usually playing. Anyhow as I was walking through the classroom, I heard crying in the gym. I kept walking and then I suddenly stopped. The crying sounded like Katelyn. I turned around immediately, went back out of the classroom, and walked to the gym door and entered the gym. There was my baby girl lying on the ground just bawling her eyes out. I did recognize that cry!
I bent down and picked Katelyn up and she clung to me crying and doing the hiccup thing. Apparently another little girl and her hit each other. The teacher was busy talking to the other little girl about nice hands which left Katelyn upset and crying. While holding Katelyn, the teacher than came over to talk to Katelyn about "nice hands" as well. Both little girls said sorry and were fine. It broke my heart though when I first walked in and saw her on the ground crying hard. The Mama bear came out in me and I was ready to take someone to task before finding out what had happened.
Another event in my day today is our Jordan learned how to snap her fingers today. She has asked CHH and me several times to show her how. She got it tonight! She was so cute dancing and snapping away. She is so funny lately because she has been singing all the Barney songs from Katelyn's DVD. It is the only DVD that Katelyn will watch so Jordan now is familiar with the songs. She will sing and do the cutest dances.
