Everyone says that babies grow so fast, but I guess you never can actually grasp that concept until you have your own. When I had Kyle on May 13th, I will admit that September 1st seemed so far away. Well, my maternity leave/summer vacation came and went and somehow my baby is almost 4 months old!! While Mommy returned to work on September 1st, Kyle started daycare. It was an emotional day - mainly for me, Kyle didn't seem to notice the change too much, thankfully! We couldn't be happier with our daycare provider - they came to us as a referral from my friend Julie from work. Her son, Matty, goes to the same daycare and she has nothing but great things to say about them! Day 1 went great - Kyle had an awesome day and I told him he may have set the bar pretty high for himself and that he had to be that good everyday!! :) I only called once around noon to check-in and he was doing great - eating, napping, and playing with the other kids! Music to a new-mommy's ears! Day 2 went just as good, as did Day 3....I'm hoping this trend continues! It was good to get back to work and into a routine - but I miss those days just hanging out with Kyle, taking our walks (and sleeping in!) But I know this change is going to be good for all of us.....or at least that's what people keep telling me for reassurance!
Here are some pictures from Kyle's first day! The last one is Kyle and his caregiver, Karen - she's been so great to him!!
