Report #3

Aiden had his third day at daycare yesterday and I would have to call it a success! I dropped him off at about 9am and this time I left straight away. There were the obligatory tears from Aiden but one of the girls took him outside so I think they subsided pretty quickly. Although he didn't have a sleep again he lasted until I picked him up about 2.30pm. Amazingly, this morning when Aiden got up he asked if he could go to daycare. I was a bit surprised by this request so I made sure he understood that it would mean I take him there and then leave him on his own and he still said he wanted to go... oh my little boy is growing up...
In order to help Aiden settle at daycare I had made him a little book of photos of all his favourite people. The carers said it was a hit - he showed all the carers and all the kids too. When I went to pick him up he was still lovingly carrying it around.


Of course not having a midday nap meant that Aiden was exhausted by the time we got home. I (wrongly) thought that having two kids looking like the photo below would mean I would get some peace and quiet for at least an hour while they slept. NOT A CHANCE! About 5 minutes after this photo was taken Megan had a bout of colic and screamed for two hours straight and surprisingly with all the noise Aiden refused to sleep too....
