Daycare: Day Two

I've survived Day Two of Daycare. For some reason, today was much harder a) than yesterday and b) than I expected.

I dropped him off and as I was putting away his bottles Miss Linda was taking him out of his carseat and getting ready to feed him. Well okay then. Guess she helped make a decision for me as to whether or not I would stay around for a bit, I couldn't bare to watch her feed him again. So I decided to go finish my errands that I needed to finish since I will no longer have the days to myself.

I headed to the post office to mail out the invitations for his christening and then I went next door and opened up a Savings Account for Alexander. We still plan on opening a 529 for him and maybe even a real account with ING for him (higher interest), but I wanted him to have his own bank account where he could "see & touch" his money via a passbook rather than online. I remember thinking how cool it was when I was a kid. Then it was off to Kohl's for a return before heading into Boston to meet my parents for lunch.

While at Kohl's I was starting to crash mentally. I couldn't stop thinking of Alexander and how I missed just making him smile. I was hoping he was napping so I wouldn't be missing much. I was now debating going to lunch or going to pick him up because I didn't know how much more I wanted to do this. But I told myself that it would be a good thing to go to lunch. It would be a nice distraction hanging with my parents & being in Boston would be a plus. Not only that it would help kill time before I would go get him.

I'm glad I went because it was nice to hang out with my parents and it was an upbeat lunch so I didn't cry as I was afraid I would. Plus, I got to drive around a neighborhood I have never seen and I fell in love. Big, old houses with an amazing view of the skyline....ahhhh, if only we had that kind of money. (If only - I wouldn't be posting about daycare)

Then I headed back towards daycare and decided to fill out my journal before going to get him to give enough time for a feeding. I got to daycare at almost 2:30 and he was just finishing a bottle. And Miss Linda informed me that he had a visitor during lunchtime. Daddy came to visit him. Isn't that sweet?? Unfortunately for daddy, Alexander was napping. But yah that Alexander was napping!!

Alexander had a great day at daycare again. Miss Linda loves him. He took two naps for almost 3 hours total. He's still feeding around every 2 1/2 hours, but they said he was very content today and played again with his Sesame Street friends.

I think tomorrow will be the true test seeing as how it'll be the whole day and I don't have the thought in my head that I can go get him anytime like I did today and yesterday. Not only that, I know I'll talk about him all day with people at work, so I'm hoping that won't make me miss him more.

Let's hope there are less tears on day three...
