Daycare Update
We survived! Alex and I both survived his first day at daycare. Woohoo!
I woke Alex up this morning and told him it was his first day of school.
I got him dressed, and he still seemed excited.
We loaded ourselves into the car,
and we arrived at the daycare center.
When Alex and I arrived in his classroom, we found out that his teacher was out sick, so he had a substitute on his first day. She seemed very nice, but hopefully we will meet his teacher tomorrow. As Alex gawked at the kids and toys spread out before him, I managed to slip out the door.
I worried about him all day, but managed to keep busy at work. The lady who runs the daycare recommended that I not pick him up until after nap time at three. So, promptly at three o’clock I pulled up to the daycare to pick up my son. They told me that he cried some when he noticed I was gone, and he cried again and asked for me at naptime. Other than that, they said he did very well. I wanted to take another picture of him when I picked him up, but as soon as I got in range to take a picture, he saw me, burst into tears, and sprinted across the floor. There was no chance to take a picture. He stopped crying after making sure that I wasn’t going anywhere without him, and he even managed to say “bye-bye” to his teacher and friends.
All in all, I have to say it was a successful first day. Here’s hoping that the rest of the week will go as smoothly. 🙂
