Along Came Aubrey: New Daycare

This was a really tough week for Aubrey. We have been debating for quite some time now to remove Aubrey from her current daycare and switch her to one that we thought was more fitting for both her and us. The daycare that we were interested in had a very long wait list, but we got the call 2 weeks ago that they finally had an opening in the room that Aubrey would be in. After long discussions and debates, we decided to take Aubrey out of her current daycare and move her to this new one.

We thought Aubrey would adjust well and love the new place as much as we do, but boy were we wrong. Daddy and I both took her the first day and it felt like the very first day of work/daycare all over again back when she was just 12 weeks old. Aubrey was all smiles when we left and was really into the new setup, but when I called to check in, I was informed that Aubrey was not adjusting well and was a bit of a wreck. We knew it was only because it was such unfamiliar territory for her, but it still broke my heart. Each day did get a little better so we are hoping that she will be completely adjusted soon. Each night was filled with lots of loving and cuddling! Friday at Grandma and Grandpa Trost's was definitely welcomed with open arms and Aubrey was so happy and excited to be in more familiar territory. She even took a 3 hour nap!

The three of us met up with some of my friends at Buffalo Wild Wings for some pre-game dinner and a little bit of the Husker game on Saturday. Aubrey lasted quite a while and loved sitting in the highchair. Then on Sunday we went to a little trick-or-treating at Village Pointe mall. Aubrey loved her costume and I must admit that she is quite a cute ladybug! We can't wait for her first Halloween next week. We are trying to decide if we will go trick-or-treating or not. We felt guilty taking candy while trick-or-treating at the mall, so maybe we can just walk around for a bit up and down our street to see our neighbors. Quite the dilemma....we shall see!

One last tidbit of info....Aubrey got her first tooth today! We have been patiently awaiting it for awhile now, but it finally broke through. I was expecting Aubrey to be pretty irritable and crabby during the whole process, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that bad. Yet another example of how great of a baby we have!
