I went back to work on Feb 20th, so Ella started day care. She has been doing really well and seems to be very happy. She's been eating good and taking naps for them. Even though she has been taking naps, she is still sleeping through the night, which makes Charles & I very happy!
Like I said, I started back to work on Feb 20th working half-days on Monday & Tuesday because I figured it would be really difficult to leave Ella. It wasn't as difficult as first thought. I had been taking her to day care every day the week before she started and I felt very comfortable leaving her to play with the staff and other kids. The staff at the center quickly discovered that Ella doesn't like to sit in their swing. It leans back pretty far, so instead, they have been putting a towel behind her to prop her up and all seems to be working well.
On Wednesday, I recieved a call from Human Resources at The Principal Financial Group offering me a position as an Underwriting Consultant in the Health Division working directly with Healthcare Savings Accounts for the High Deductible Healthcare Plans. I have accepted the new position and will start on March 6th. I am really excited and will be working with two of my highly talented former co-workers.
In this picture taken yesterday (02/26), Ella decided that the bouncy seat just didn't keep her inclined enough, so yes, she is trying to sit up in the bouncy seat. I guess we're about done with this device if she is going to continue to try to sit up in it. So, we've started her in her Exersaucer and so far, she loves it! She is figuring out how to push the buttons to play music and she is sucking on everything.
