Today was Beck's first day at day care, the day I have been dreading for the past couple of months. I thought maybe it would be easier since he is almost a year old, compared to Gage who started at twelve weeks...but of course I was fooling myself. It was a restless night last night (for me, not him), and quite a few tears were shed this morning (again, by me, not him), but in the end none of my worst fears were realized. As you can see, he was excited by the new morning routine, and was happily exploring his new room when I left for work. He ate well, he napped, and, according to his teachers, was happy and smiling all day. Apparently, he even befriended another baby boy who is new to the center and was having a tough time adjusting...according to the teachers, this was the first day the other baby didn't cry all day.
My baby boy. No longer a baby, and no longer all mine.
