Mommy Milestones

Yep, this one's for Mama Bug...

Surviving Day 1 of Daycare.   June Bug's off to daycare for the first time now that we're both back to work. And frankly, someone needs to write a "Daycare Survival Manuel" for PARENTS. You know, "deep breaths", "think about something else", "no the world's worst natural disaster will probably NOT happen today".... that sort of thing.

I only cried 6 times and I didn't even have to do the drop off. My poor coworkers must think I was really unhappy to see them all. I could see the side eyes of "jeesh, we're all sad summer's over, but get a grip Mama Bug."

Needless to say June Bug was just fine. I really think daycare is survival of the fittest parents, not kids.  June Bug LOVES other kids, so he was pretty taken with them upon arrival (or so I'm told).  He loves toys, he loves food....so really what's not to love about daycare?

And of course he came home happy as a clam and playful all afternoon.  Meanwhile Mama and Daddy Bug crawled into bed extra early, and I mean crawled... after what was clearly a day full of anxiety, emotions and tears who wouldn't be exhausted?
