Jason's Introduction to Daycare

Jason went to Jo's for part of the day on Monday and full days on Wednesday through Friday. I am quite shocked at how well it went. After the cold shoulder I got from him on Sunday morning, I thought I was really in for it this week by sending him to Jo's. But truly, it could not have gone better. No crying when I dropped him off, seemed happy to be where he was, slept pretty good, and did not have any meltdowns at dinner time.

To add to the wonder of it all, Jo has gushed to me about how he is such a content & independent little boy. In the last couple of months we have definitely seen a marked change in him & he is typically very happy, but it is so nice to hear it from someone else. She also paid us a great compliment by saying that whatever we have done for the kids so far has made them into happy, content, and independent children. She does not always have the pleasure of receiving such happy kids into her home each morning. Our most important job is our role as a parent, so it is nice to hear from an independent party that we have done a good job. Now let's see if we can keep from messing it up.

While the kids were at day care I spent one day cleaning, one day scrapbooking & today Brad I had a 'date'. We went to see Harry Potter at the noon showing & were happy that the theatre was not completely packed with kids. Book of course is much better, but the movies are great too. Seeing the movie has me itching for the book to be released on the 21st, but I won't be standing in line at midnight for my copy. We started buying the series in the adult paperback version- which of course is not released for another year or so. However, I will not be waiting to purchase our copy before I read it. I have a few friends who have pre-ordered theirs & as soon as I can snag it out of one of their hands, I will be immersed in the final chapter.

He's starting to cruise.
