D-Day and sitting up!

c



Yesterday was the day... D-Day... the first day of Daycare for Kieran...

It went a lot better than I had anticipated- thank goodness! The night before I was a wreck... but the next morning I was so busy getting Mr. Man ready and everything out the door I didn't have time to freak out. Rick followed along in the civic for support but left shortly after for a meeting around 8. I stayed till half past nine to nurse him and let him nap on my lap and talk with Sheila- Kieran's sitter and new grandma! It was really nice to have some quiet time to learn a little bit about her life- she seems to be a very kind and loving person and I think an excellent choice for our little man.
I did lose it as I walked out the door to leave- but at least he was smiling and happy. By the time I got to school I was pretty good until someone asked about him and then waterworks again- I've turned into such a girl!
Every time I called both yesterday and today he was either playing or napping- in other words not crying so that was a relief. I was also amazed that he slept at all! Sheila said after his first bottle (which he took like a champ) he was sleepy so she patted and shushed him and he fell asleep without much fuss and slept over an hour in his pack-n-play (first time in that thing!) He took another nap in the pm and was all smiles when I picked him up around 3. Today he took two good naps the first over an hour and second two hours! Who is this child?!
In any case, things are going very well so far and it is such a relief to have found someone who generally seems to enjoy caring for our son- thank you Sheila!
Oh and PS... Kieran is sitting up better and better these days- thanks in part no doubt to Sheila's efforts- way to go big boy!
