We Survived

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

I woke up at 6am surprisingly feeling excited to go to work. I am sure this feeling will wear off in a week or so when the reality of having to do this permanently sets in. The morning went rather smoothly because I made sure to have everything ready last night. I had my clothes along with the boys laid out. Both of them would have water play at school so I packed their backpacks with towels, extra clothes and a stuffed animal for each for snuggling.

We were out of the door by 7:10 with only one tantrum and all our clothes clean and neat. I took them into the daycare and at first all was well. Noah handled it well but Zachary not so much. I was caught off guard by this because I figured Noah (being the youngest and a Mamma's Boy) would have the toughest time. Zachary didn't start to cry until I left and from what I am told, it lasted awhile. He had to be comforted and was taken under the arm of some new "buddies" who helped him settle down. Hearing this on the phone when I called for my 2nd update broke my heart and I wanted to run to him and sweep him up in my arms and hold him tighter than ever before.

Amazingly, he did better as the day went on and things worked out well. I hope tomorrow is better for Zachary now that he knows what to expect.

ETA: I only cried half way to work. Not bad.
