Terrific 2
Joss had an early bday celebration on June 7th. Everyone that mattered came and showered my little girl with love. It was a beautiful and perfect Minnie Mouse party!
No time for the blues
Yesterday was Jossy's first day of daycare ever. She transitioned like a champ. No tears and all smiles for her new teacher and classmates! I teared up on the way to my training, but a huge weight was lifted. I have been so afraid that she would freak out at daycare and would have a difficult time with the structure. She actually loved it. In retrospect, I should have known that she would move into this phase with ease, as she always has transitioned well. She has also settled in very well to our apartment in GA. She is happy. She is thriving and where we are together is always home!
In a flash
On June 20th my baby turned 2. Her day was spent in Maine jumping at the Maine jump, eating icecream, and running through the lupin!
North bound
In between moving to GA, (June 13-26), we took a little road trip to Maine with Uncle Troy and Grammy. It was a long ride, but we had some fun along the way! We chilled in the North GA mountains, reunited with Auntie and Uncle Billy, and visited Grampy's grave. It was an unforgettable time with family!

Lego my ego
Jossy went to Legoland and had a great time with Mommy, Corey, Annabelle, and Isabelle! May 10, 2014. She got a ton of attention for her sassy little outfit!

Hope Floats
My baby girl amazes me everyday. If only I were more diligent about writing about it! Today, she accurately pointed to the color pink and knew just what to do when I told her to wash her knees at bath time. She puts her trash in the garbage without being asked and croons to the beat of the Mickey Mouse Club theme song. She is pure spirit!
I am always filled with such an overwhelming mixture of feelings. There is pride, worry, love, awe, frustration, fear, responsibility, amusement, and the list goes on and barely scratches the surface.
Today, I feel panicked about my child care needs for her next year. How will I ever succumb to the idea that strangers will be responsible for her well-being and safety? I am certain I won't. And as a single mom, I am in this alone and for the first time I'm terrified. How will I pick her up? Drop her off? Pay the Bills? Assure her happiness and safety? Work full time? Juggle all of the last minute things that come up? People say it will work out. Of course it will. But that won't keep the fear from looming. When my mother leaves I am absolutely all this little girl has and I can't let her down. I refuse to.

My Gemini!
Josslyn says please and thanks now. I am so pleased and so relieved at the same time! My wild child is learning manners! I'm going to definitely file this under the win column. I won't mention that she's started dumping her milk out on purpose or climbs on the counters! At least she will be a polite menace!

Luck of the draw
It's a new year and my Christmas vacation from work comes to a close tomorrow. It has been so nice to just relax with Josslyn at home. She had a little cough this week and the weather has been quite balmy (for FL) that we spent most of our time watching the Disney channel, playing with new toys, and taking long naps!
We had such a peaceful holiday. Joss is talking up a storm and really seems to understand so much. She throws her wrappers in the trash and cheerfully climbs the stairs when it's time for bed or a nap. She also knows how to play her momma and Grammy like a deck of cards!
If I haven't said it before or enough, I feel so lucky and chosen to be this child's momma! In the game of life, I was definitely dealt a straight royal flush!
