It's almost here!

The big event is almost here! Cacy will be 1 in two weeks! The time has flown by, it's blowing my mind.  It has been forever since my last post, here is a quick update:

- Cacy has 8 teeth! That's apparently a lot!
- She is standing on her own until she realizes what she is doing then she sits down! We can't get her to take a step, but we are working on it.
- She reads books to us.
- She is extremely head strong. It's her way or no way. And she will fight and cry for how ever long it takes. She doesn't give up!
- She is climbing stairs with ease nowadays. It's a little scary.
- She has a shadow/stalker at daycare as of 10/16/14! She has been trying to get rid of him by growling and shaking her head no! I wish I had video.

At daycare they are doing a reading competition. This hinges on the books provided by the kids. So the parents were urged to bring in as many books as possible. Each book is a link in the caterpillar chain. The two classes with the longest chains are the winners. (I'm not sure of what they will win.) So I took as many books as I could on Oct 1 (27 books), because if I can't check something off my to do list ASAP, it reduces me to a crazy unproductive mess. But they keep asking for more books, and I keep trying to find more. Well I decided to take her books with stickers (previously thought not to be a good idea since kids these size put everything in their mouths). But the books come back in great condition, so I know the teachers handle them - not the kids, not at all. But yesterday one of her books can back with a note, an apology, and a promise of reimbursement. Apparently a new teacher was reading to the kids yesterday. She had to go to another room. And she left the book with the kids. Well when the other teacher turned around - all of the kids had stickers all over them. They were tearing the book apart and Cacy was helping of course (one of her favorite things to do is tear paper - true story).  It was hilarious!!!

Cacy and Auntie Bolivia!
