Today was just an average day. Nothing too exciting happened. Chloe did sleep in her bed all night last night until about 7:30 am this morning. She went to bed tonight without a fight, thankfully. And, she's starting school tomorrow. 

I take her to school at 11 am, and Grandma will be picking her up because I have an appointment at 2:30 pm. So, I don't even get to ask the teachers about her first day :(. 

I am excited and worried at the same time, about Chloe staring school. I've been very protective of her in not letting anyone but family take care of her. So, Chloe going to school for a few hours a day without me is going to feel weird, and my anxiety is going to be through the roof.

But, all of that happens tomorrow. I just need to get through the rest of tonight and then worry about tomorrow. 

I spent the better part of my day writing code, again. I do this sort of thing a lot. But, today, I had an issue that I just couldn't seem to fix. I was trying to get some buttons to show in a custom user profile, and no matter what I did, those buttons wouldn't show up. After spending about an hour and a half trying to figure out the root problem, I reached out to the ProBoards support staff for some guidance. It turns out it was a stupid easy fix. I wasn't paying attention to the tab I was editing, and therefore I was adding the wrong variables to the template.

I'm a firm believer that when you fix one problem in a code, you create a million more. Hence the shirt pictured above. My buddy Chris in the U.K. sent me that shirt almost two years ago now. We use to code and create things together all the time, talk on skype, and yell at each other when one of those "it worked fine yesterday" moments came around. 

Anyway, I got a good bit of work done on the Harry Potter project today. Custom Profiles and Mini Profiles are set up, changed some color issues with that chat box at the bottom of the site, created and modified a news page and four common room areas for each Hogwarts House, and wrote up and uploaded two site guides to DropBox for April to go over. It was an entirely productive day in that regard.

Today, one of my closest friends has a birthday. So, Happy Birthday CJ! I miss your face! ~ I've been so worried about him because he was diagnosed with two inoperable brain tumors not too long ago. Sometimes, he disappears and I don't hear from him. It worries me. But, after talking with someone about it, I've learned there is a reason I don't hear from him. I just do my best to check in and make sure he's doing alright from time to time.

Well, nothing else is going on over here tonight. I need to finish up a few things then head to bed as I have to get up super early in the morning to drop my husband off in Atlanta for work. Until tomorrow ...

Last Tuesday, my youngest daughter turned three-years-old. It seems like I just had her yesterday. I can still remember holding her little six-pound self in my arms, bottle feeding her, and laying on the floor with her during tummy time. 

This week is a massive week for Chloe. To start with, we went out today and bought her a toddler bed. She's been in a crib up to this point and has yet to try and climb out of it. She's been overdue to switch to a big girl's bed for a while. 

We went to get her bed with our hearts set on the Frozen bed shown in the picture above. However, when we got to the store, we found a wooden one (dark wood like her crib) and fully intended to buy that one in case she grew out of her "Frozen" obsession before she outgrew the bed. But, the wooden bed was much more expensive. So, she got the Frozen themed toddler bed. 

When we finished cleaning up her room and putting it together, we brought her upstairs to see it. She was ecstatic. She walked right up to it, climbed into bed, and surrounded herself with stuffed animals and pillows. I'm pretty sure she loves it.

I was unsure how she would do her first night in the new bed, but surprisingly, she's done well. I put her to bed around 7:30 pm and she's been out like a light since. She's growing up and way too fast for my liking. She even starts school on Tuesday this week. I'll post about that experience then.

Chloe got her first "big" boo-boo today. We were at Burlington, and she cut her finger pretty bad on one of the coat racks. She said "ow," but didn't cry. There was, what seemed like, a lot of blood from her little index finger. It was running down her wrist and covered her finger. Daddy took her to the bathroom to try and clean her up and stop the bleeding. 

We got a band-aid and some alcohol wipes from the manager. It wasn't until then she started to cry. She wasn't even crying because of the cut. The manager had already covered it with a band-aid. She was crying because we were trying to clean up the rest of the dried blood with the alcohol wipe and she didn't like that we had to restrain her.

It took a band-aid and a little bit of pressure to stop the bleeding, but she was a champ through it all. She didn't let it phase her one bit. I took the above picture shortly after she saw her bed for the first time and she was all playful and goofy like her usual self. Sometimes, I tend to worry too much which isn't good for anyone.

Chloe is doing just fine; we've been cleaning it and changing the band-aid out. The cut looks normal. It's not red or warm to the touch, and there's no puss around it. I'll continue to monitor it and take her to the doctor if needed.
