We were very lucky to have an amazing babysitter for the past 5 months. It was such a comfort to be able to have Henry cared for in our own home and to help him transition from me being home full time to going back to work. Now that he is eating lots of solids, having fewer bottles, napping better, and walking, the idea of daycare is a little less scary.
We found a daycare that fits our needs. They are a "green" daycare meaning they will continue to do cloth diapering when Henry is there, they only serve organic, vegetarian meals, and there aren't any harsh chemicals to clean the toys. Oh, and there are no tvs or electronic toys -- yay!
Last weekend was spent getting Henry's daycare gear together - labeling his items he would need while there, packing his diaper bag, and pushing down my anxiety of Henry being taken care of by people we don't know well (yet).
But... day numero uno went great. Ryan managed to get Henry out the door, dropped off and to court on time (so right there the day is a winner) and no tears were shed (on Henry's part) and happily played after Ryan gave him a big hug and kiss! We received pictures throughout the day of Henry playing and smiling and even painting! When I picked him up after work, he was happy to see me, but wanted to continue playing and wasn't too happy when I had to take him home!
Overall he was a rockstar -- he drank his bottles, ate his food, napped (napped!!!!), and was in good spirits all day... I hope day #2 tomorrow goes just as well.
Here are the pics we received of Henry at daycare!
Loved the big ladybug pillow!
First art project at daycare!
