Well I guess it is true--blogs don't write themselves...
Today was the much anticipated Winter Gala at daycare, with performances by the Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, and Fives. Sabrina made her theatrical debut as a member of the Ones with a resounding rendition of "If You're Happy and You Know It". Now admittedly the production was less Andrew Lloyd Webber and more Toddlers on the Loose, but daycare's theatre budget is probably a little below Broadway standards. But those little kids put their hearts into it, when they were paying attention. They really made me believe they were happy, and they knew it. And since clapping hands is a skill Sabrina mastered over a year ago, it's a role she was born to play. I have to say, I was hoping for something a little more along the lines of the "When you're a Jet" dance scene from West Side Story or at least a snippet of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, but maybe that was a little above the level of the other children. But hey, even Beyonce had to be a toddler once right?

Update...
Last night saw a playful nothing's wrong phase, followed by a screamfest right before bed, but no fever most of the day. A little cranky this morning, no fever, so off to day care. I called around 1 this afternoon and they said she wasn't eating her solids and was definately not the life of the party she usually is. They said she even had a small breakdown after I left this morning, which is not her style.
Just got word a few minutes ago they called Gregg, she has a fever. So he's off to pick her up. He usually gets her around 3:30 or so anyway, so she almost made it. Poor Chipmunk.
Well the moment I've been dreading has arrived...Day Care. Gregg is back to work in the office on Monday. I'm on vacation this week. So we decided since we're both still home, this would be the week to wean all three of us on to Day Care. We're at Kindercare; Gregg has done the research and the visits and decided this was the best place for us to go. Everyone's nice; the building is secure, the other kids seem happy--I just hate dropping her off there. Unfortunately, right now is not the time to go to a single earner household. There are still a few thousand dollars of adoption fees left to pay (court and lawyer costs, social worker visits, etc.) and we just can't do the stay at home dad scenario--yet. We'll get there some day soon. So this week we've been taking her for a few hours each day. Starting Monday, I'll be dropping her off in the morning around 7:30, and Papa will pick her up at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Sabrina seems fine with it. We're the ones who aren't happy (especially me). I know it has to be, but well...are you sure none of you guys don't want to drop everything and just come over and watch her?
