smiley elise. :)

Today was a special milestone because Elise smiled big for the first time when I took her to her babysitter, Angelica.  She was excited and happy to see her.  This makes me great relief because it means that I know she's happy to be there.  It's still really hard for me to drop her off and seeing her when I pick her up is always the highlight of my day.  I thank God everyday that I have a flexible enough schedule where she is with a babysitter for 24 hours a week and that my mom comes over on Thursdays.  I can't imagine what life would be like if I had a normal full-time job where I would only get to really see her on the weekends.  I'd probably just quit.  Having this flexible schedule now means that I have to work really hard in the evenings and weekends, but it's totally worth it.

Here's a pic of Elise doing her new "thing"-- sticking her tongue out when she smiles.  :P
