Easing Mommy into daycare

Whew, we made it through Nate's first two days of daycare. Day 1 was *rough* for me - I starting crying the night before when labeling and preparing his things. Today was easier with just some tears in the parking lot and on the drive to Starbucks.

Not that Thursday will be easy by any stretch, but I'm really happy I did these two "trail" days. Chuck and I got to work on our morning routine (which still needs tweaking to get us ready on time), and we have had some time to get comfortable with leaving Nathan with Miss Karen in the infant room.

Nathan has been a superstar at daycare. He has taken some short naps in the swing and ate/drank all of his bottles. Karen is very sweet and seems to take great care of our little boy. All of the teachers say how cute he is - they may say that to all the parents, but we don't think so. ;)

Karen has yet to experience a famous Nathan #2...well, maybe not famous. We have a good supply of extra outfits in his drawers at daycare, and so far they have not been used. I think she tells him to save it up for Mommy and Daddy.

Tomorrow is our last day home together. Our plans? Let's see, snuggle, talk, sing, play, snuggle and repeat (with feeding him and lots of diaper changes thrown in ). Sounds like heaven to me.
