Cooperative baby

..that's what Drew told me to title the post today after Rachel very obligingly (and unusually) awoke at 7:15, just in time for me to feed her, dress her, take her to day care VERY early and get on the road for Hillsboro, about an hour west of Portland, to cover a hearing that began at 9 a.m. I was terrified of waking her up early, but Rachel opened her eyes as soon as I turned off the humidifier and rain tape we play every night. She gave me a big smile and only fussed a little when I got her on the changing table.

Bottom line: I got to the courthouse a half-hour early -- and, of course, the hearing didn't start until 9:15.

"We have a championship baby!" I told Drew by phone this morning. He is in Seattle until Wednesday, so I have an extra morning with Rachel. I plan to let her sleep because I'd like to take tomorrow off.

In other news: On her first day visiting Toddler 1s yesterday, we received this report: "Rachel made herself right at home in Toddler Ones. She loved looking at the books and enjoyed listening to songs being sung."

Way to go, Rachel! Perhaps the transition will be a tiny bit easier than mommy thought?
