Yesterday was Miss Lee's last day as your nanny, but not her last day as your friend! Always remember that. Miss Lee is such a special person to our family. When you were just four months old, Miss Lee stepped into our lives, specifically your life, and changed us all. She was more than we could have ever asked for as a caregiver. Mommy was a little nervous about going back to work after being off with you for 4 months, but Miss Lee made the transition so easy. Everyday, I came home to a journal entry telling me everything you did that day, from what you ate, how you slept, even how many times you pooped (hee hee!). She not only described the activities you did that day, but also how you felt about those activities. She taught you all kind of sign language and taught you to listen for sounds and even to count! 1-2-3 GO! Your vocabulary blows everyone away, and I always say it's because of Miss Lee. (Papa Rob always says it's his genetics, but I know better). And Miss Lee was so good about sending me pictures and videos all the time! Mommy loved the text message updates, and when a picture would come through, it would just make my day! You and Miss Lee did all kinds of things together. Some of your favorite things were listening to Music with Mommie Time CD, and waving bye-bye to Daddy (Daddy loved this one and gets mad when Mommy forgets to do it on her days off!) and watching for Mommy, oh, and coloring. Let's see, you two went to the zoo so many times and even discovered a water fall right beside your lunch spot! She introduced you to the library and of course constantly read you books, and Chick-fil-a! Oh, you 2 loved some Chick-fil-a, or at least the play ground!! Whenever we pass it you always say "play, more play"!! Mommy loved Miss Lee's ability to never make anything negative. If you were doing something that you shouldn't be doing, she was so good about redirecting without any anger. Mommy tries to, but probably needs a little more work in that area. We've been through a lot with Miss Lee over the last year and a half. She was so helpful these last 4 months with the house on the market. At a drop of a hat, she'd have the house cleaned and you out the door with no complaints. As you can see, Daddy and Mommy love Miss Lee, and baby girl, I know you do, too! I cannot express enough how excited I am that she gets to join you in this new experience (i.e. school!). As Miss Lee said at lunch yesterday, this is not goodbye, but just "see you later"...
Here are a few pictures we recently captured. Mommy will have to figure out how to get all the ones sent via text onto the computer... Sounds like a Daddy project, huh :)
Here are a couple from the zoo. Miss Lee even set up play dates with friends!!
And these are from the Brentwood Library. At this story time, Miss Lee's grandchildren met ya'll there and then Rebekah got to come home with you!! She is such a cutie pie, and oh so smart, too. Miss Lee always talks about how you remind her so much of her Rebekah! Such a sweet girl.
