Our First Week At Daycare

Notice I said "OUR" first week at daycare, not Jack's first week at daycare because this has definitely been an adjustment for all involved! Monday and Tuesday he was only there half days and she said he was good both days. Wednesday he was there until 2:30 and then we picked him up for his Well Baby Visit. Today was the BIG DAY - he stayed at the daycare all day from 7:45 until 5:15 - that's like 9.5 hours! That's the longest I had been away from him EVER! I wouldn't even leave him with either or his grandma's that long - so needless to say today was rough! My stomach was in knots most of the day and I just constantly wondered how he was doing and if he was being good for Miss Tonya and how he was feeling from his shots yesterday, etc. etc. etc.

Well here is the report for the day: First I have to mention that when we dropped him off this morning I had to tell Tonya that he hadn't had a BM since 6:30 the night before so it might be a bad day if he had gotten binded up with gas and couldn't poop. So the first thing Tonya said was, "Um...he had a blow-out today! He was sitting in the bouncy chair and he EXPLODED...all over the chair, on her daughter who was sitting in front of him entertaining him, then all over Tonya when she picked him up, and all over the towel she had to lay down in order to protect the changing station from Jack's Natural Disaster! Haha! She said he took a long nap from 1:00 until about 3:45 (she actually called me and asked if she should wake him up to eat or let him sleep longer and I said let him sleep until at least 3:30 so that we would be on schedule for tonight but that he could go as long as 4 hours from his previous feeding if he was napping). We were both a bit concerned b/c his blow-out was pretty runny, but we assumed it was from his shots the day before, but she said he had another BM after his afternoon feeding and it was back to a more normal, pasty consistency! Whew...

But all in all she said that today was his best day yet! So I'm optimistic that he is going to do just fine at Miss Tonya's!
