I know, it's been a while since my last post and even Mallory can't believe that the Merriman Tales are back. Lots of new updates to share with you since last left off!
In the early part of July, Mallory started at her new school (Spotted Zebra in Albany), and went from three days to five days a week. Leading up to her first day, we were very nervous and anxious about how the first drop-off was going to go especially since she was just getting settled in at her old school. To our amazement, Mallory's first day went great and she really adjusted well to her new surroundings right from the start. It's been a little over 3 weeks and things couldn't be going better.
In other news, we decided it was time to convert Mallory's crib to a "toddler" bed since she has been recently making attempts to climb out of the crib. We didn't know how well the new bed setup was going to go so we did it on a Saturday and had Mallory "check out" the bed before we put her down for nap & bedtime. Once again, Mallory surprised us with no resistance and eventually went right to sleep after we put her down and made no attempt to get out. To this day she has yet to climb out and explore her room during the night! The other strange thing about this is that we no longer have an aerial view of her bed since we had to relocate the camera so that we could see the entire room if she climbed out of bed...we have a rotating camera that allows us to scan the room from the hand held monitor which is great.

On weekends, we have had some great weather for playing in the yard. Mallory loves playing with her water table and of course cannot get enough of her swing!

This past weekend was Michol's birthday and we went over to Nana and Papa Merriman's house for some lunch. Mallory had a great time running around the yard and scarfing down some cupcakes. One thing Mallory did that surprised us was she ate an entire cupcake. In the past she would not want to eat the frosting and would get upset if she got any on her hands. Well, she ate everything and she licked the frosting off her fingers. Who is this child???
