ETEO Snapshots

Some mornings Tracy just gives some dry cereal and a banana - I tend to feed her in the mornings. But for lunch when I'm working - seems like she forgets to feed Ella. I will monitor this and make specific notes starting today.

This happened a few days ago. I was in the kitchen - working on backsplash when I heard a tumble then clunk.  Ella starts crying. I run over to the main staircase. Tracy is at the bottom and Ella is crying.  Looks like she fell down a few steps and hit the hardwood floor.  She seemed fine.

For the past three nights (and many other nights) - Tracy says she's going to cook and then we'll do some family time fun. Each time, as dinner approaches - Tracy has breakdown, doesn't cook dinner, and goes to bed. I have to put dinner together at the last minute and do "family" activity alone.

Tracy is going to take Ella to the center for a play session on Wednesday which starts at 10 (or was it 10.30?). I feed Ella, change diaper, dress her, get her in car seat (basically everything).  Tracy is just getting herself ready.  At 9.45 (+/-) I put her in the car seat and into the Honda since Tracy says she's ready to go.  We're already almost going to be late. Tracy doesn't make it downstairs until 10.15 - Ella's in the car seat for 30 minutes.  They finally leave to drive the 1 mile to the center. 25 minutes later - Tracy calls and says she can't find it - it's now 10.40am - only 20 minutes left of playtime at center. Ella has now been in the car seat for an hour - for no reason. Tracy decides to just go shopping..... So the backup plan is to go to the Saturday play time in the morning.  Pretty much same thing - Tracy leaves the house for the playcenter 10 minutes after it's already started. When she arrives she discovers all pay times...
