Nineteen Months Old

• Found out will officially begin back to work on 1/4/10
  
• Starting to repeat sounds
• Playing with pull toys
• Starting to repeat words and imitate environmental sounds (ie. siren)
• Visited three of the possible places Ella will be going once Todd and I are both back to work. One is an in-home licensed daycare - in a basement, very nice person, but didn't get a homey feeling. The second came recommended to us from Ella's PT. In home with one other little girl who is Ella's age (and petite like her too). The third was another in-home licensed daycare. Really, really liked it (and her step-cousin goes there too), but just a bit too far for us.
  
• I spent a day conferencing with my classroom parents-to-be as well as two days observing the class. Oh boy, am I in for it!
