daycare day one

graham had his first day of daycare today. i can't believe 10 weeks flew by so quickly! and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't dreading the day that i had to drop him off and not see him all day. i knew he would be in good hands with jodi at kindercare, but it was still hard to leave him. i did really well though. i got to daycare at 7:45am and walked back to the infant room. two of his teachers were there and they were very excited to see him. i had a little surprise for them under his hoodie (thanks isa for the onesie...see picture below) and got a good laugh out of them! they let me give him a couple extra kisses, and before i could start to cry i had to walk out of the room. i thought the waterworks would start in the car, but i think because i was too busy thinking about my first day of work that i thoroughly distracted myself.



i also thought i would be counting the hours to when i would see the dude again, but i was so busy at work that i didn't even have time to think about the time. the day flew by and soon it was time for me to pick the dude up. it was so awesome to see him, scoop him up and give him more kisses. apparently he doesn't like driving home in the dark though. he cried the whole way home...which didn't help mommy's headache!

all in all, the day was a success. graham survived his first day and seemed to enjoy himself while he was at daycare...and mommy survived her first day back at work, and at a new (old) job. this week will definitely be an adjustment, but i'm sure we'll make our schedules work.
