New Job

Today, I started my 1st day of work! I took a PRN (as needed) position with a pediatric therapy clinic, High Hopes. I did a clinical there while I was in school and loved it. In fact, I remember coming home from my clinical one day telling Dowell, "this is where I want to work!" The Lord definitely has a grander plan! I am working on Mondays and Reese is able to go to the preschool/daycare next door...it works out perfectly! Anyway, today was our 1st day. I was a little nervous about leaving her, but the fact that I can walk down and check on her whenever I need to, makes it a lot easier for me (and her teachers are fantastic).

I loved being at work! This is definitely what I was meant to do. It was mostly orientation and observation today, but I did get to lead one treatment. Kids are so fun! I also got to meet some of the other children that I will be treating and they are super cute.

Reese had a great day at school and did better than I thought she would. I knew she would have a good time with the other babies, but I was worried about her eating and sleeping. She ended up eating great, but didn't sleep much. She's definitely not used to napping with other children, noises, and in an unfamiliar bed. The teachers said that she had a good time talking to herself in the mirror of the crib though :) She was exhausted when I picked her up. I put her down for a nap around 5 p.m. and she didn't even wake up to get ready for bed...just kept on sleeping thru the night. Bless her heart! I know she had a good time. She got her first good note sent home too! It said that she was cheerful and had a great day. They read books, went on a wagon ride, sang songs...sounded like lots of fun!
