Savannah

Savannah was Childcare by Maggie's first enrollment back in November of 2007! I can't believe how much I've seen her grow up in the last year. This truly is a testament to how quickly they change!

When I first met Savannah, she was barely toddling. Now, she is an avid runner, jumper, and has started skipping everywhere. She is potty trained, weaned from her "binkie" and drinks from a big girl cup. More importantly, she is cuddly and loving - at least once a day she will randomly tell me that she loves me. And she'll do that for the other kiddos in care, too. She's extremely affectionate and caring. She loves loves loves books and right now, will spend an hour or two at a time cutting and pasting at the art table! She also loves dress-up, swinging, cooking projects (especially baking!) and play-doh.

Because of my technical difficulties, I only have a few photos to share. Savannah's story could take a whole series of posts, just because I've known her so long and have so many milestones to share! Alas, this eye candy will have to do. Enjoy!

Savannah and Julia often dress up and put on a fashion show of sorts...

If she was able to, I think Savannah would swing all day and night every day of her life!

Savannah is painting with cars! She loves art projects now, but she never cares to get her hands very messy.


Play-doh is another all-time favorite. Here, she's working it into a pancake. We spent many hours of the summer on the back patio making play-doh pancakes!


Water play is never boring with Savannah around!

Lookie! My hands are green!

I just had to include this picture - see how enamored Savannah is? She's like that with all the babies! Poor Julia looks left out in the background here.... but I'm sure that Savannah turned around and gave Julia a big hug after this shot was taken!

Sadly, the kids grow up so fast. Savannah is such a blessing to have here! Being the oldest daycare kiddo we have, she sets a great example! We love her!
