Alex's First Week of Daycare Complete

Tuesday was Alex's first day at daycare... and the first day I went back to work. There were many tears (from me) but we survived. It was especially hard to leave him this morning because after I fed him... he just looked at me and smiled.

In fact, he was so blissfully happy that I had to run and get the camera. He is starting to be even more alert, coo, and smile. It's wonderful.



The week went well in large part to both Brent and I being comfortable with our daycare provider Pam. She lives about a mile south of us and is in love with our son. She has five kids of her own and they all fight over who will hold "Mr. Alex Johnson" next when they get home from school. He is a big hit.

I labeled all of his stuff with "Alex Johnson" so now he has a family nickname. They all thought it was cute that I labeled his things so formally! I overheard one of her kids saying, "Paging Mr. Alex Johnson. You are late to your conference call."
Pretty cute.

I am just glad that I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me. Leaving my baby has proven to be very difficult... being a mom is by far the best job in the world.
