Day Care

This is Simon sleeping under my desk at work...we figured he needed something better than bouncing back and forth between Brian's meetings and my office so Thursday, Jan 7th was Simon's first day of daycare. He stayed home with Daddy in the morning and then we took him in just before noon. He's used to being with other people already because we've had to use babysitters several times these last few months. But with Brian having an office outside of the house now, we needed full-time child care.

We were lucky enough to get him in to the one we liked after visiting a few just before the new year. Today I dropped him off on my way to work this morning and I had mixed emotions of leaving him there. I know it will be good for him to get on a more regular schedule at a daycare rather than taken to meetings and nap times interrupted. It will also be good for Brian to be able to work again and continue being successful. But at the same time, these are strangers to us and I'd just prefer to have him with me or Brian or someone we know and trust.

I don't mean to whine but this is more to just get my feelings down in writing during this transition for our family. We are blessed to have jobs so that we can take care of our baby, it will just take some adjusting time to this new situation for us. At least he has an actual bed to take naps in at the daycare instead of the floor at the office!
