Noooo hitting

My fear has become a reality....hitting at daycare.

I always knew that kids hit/bit eachother - but I was somehow hoping that my child would never have be hit - or be the hitter.

When I take Harper to daycare, I always take her into the play area and play with her for a minute or so. The other kids swarm us at stare at us - it's actually pretty cute having 5 one-year olds staring at you :) The second I walked away from Harper, a little boy pushed/hit Harper because he wanted her toy. GRRR - poor Harper fell on her butt and started screaming for a few seconds.

Harper goes to a larger daycare - similar to Charlie Brown - she is in the nursery until she turns two. With a room full of adventurous toddlers - hitting and biting is bound to happen. I really wish she was in a smaller daycare - with only a few toddlers. O'well - this is life. I just hope doesn't start hitting others. We haven't seen her do it around us yet - but she is still pretty little. However, she has started scratching lately. I don't know what this is all about - maybe just feeling the texture??? Overall, she is still a GREAT baby :) She'll only be a 'baby' for 3 more days :(

Labor Day Weekend 2010

We hope everyone enjoyed the 'last weekend of the summer.' We sure did - we were BUSY! Here's a little recap.

On Friday we drove to Northwood because Harper was getting her ONE YEAR pictures taken. We did a lot of neat things - but were unable to get outside because it was so windy and cool. Here is a sneak peak of what's to come:

After pictures, we had supper with my family - baked potato soup, garlic bread, and pumpkin bars! The perfect meal on a cool, almost-fall day! Thanks, Mom!

On Saturday we watched the first Iowa Hawkeye game of the season. Harper got a Hawkeye cheerleader outfit when she was born and it fits her this year. This may double as her Halloween outfit as well.

GO HAWKEYS!!!

Saturday afternoon we headed over to Curlew and Emmetsburg to be with the Nerlien's. Adam's Grandma just moved from her house in Curlew to an apartment in Emmetsburg, so we went through the remaining stuff that was still left at her house. It was great getting to see everyone! We all stayed in a hotel on Saturday night and hung out by the pool.

We came home Sunday afternoon and bummed around the house. On Monday we tried organizing and cleaning a few things at our house. We have to get things ready for Harper's birthday party - which is only 5 days away!!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!
