Previously this was the child that cried so hard when being left that she scared the other children. I was consistently pulled out of the gym or from church to console her. I was never upset about it, she needed me and I was ok with that, but.........
This is a game changer. That means that I can begin to bring back into my life the balance of it all. This week I joined (or I should say re-joined) my gym!! I dropped Harper off in the babysitting room, she smiled and waved goodbye- and I worked out sans child for 60 glorious minutes. When I picked her up she was so happy, showing me a picture she drew and waving goodbye to her "teachers". I was relieved, guilt-free and felt so joyful to be getting back something that I used to take for granted- the ability to work out! (It's only Wednesday- and we've been back again, with plans for tomorrow too!) I have a treadmill in the basement, but seriously- jogging in the basement while Harper naps is the most boring workout of all time. I did it, so that I could eat cookies and still have the ability to zip my pants, but not ideal at all. So, thank you baby girl for putting your big girl pants on and walking into that babysitting room! You're a champ! XO Trust me, keep this up and we'll all be happier healthier people.
On the Olivia front - she had her 6 year old physical today. She weighs in at 44 pounds and about 44? inches (crap, I forgot! maybe 45 inches?) Her Dr. said she is perfectly proportional, both height and weight near the 50% mark. I guess I better measure her height at home tomorrow. Our 6yr old is only 6 inches taller than the two year old....... hmmmm I wonder when H will catch up to her? I'm kind of banking that will happen.
