School School That's the Word That Rhymes With Cool!

Daddy doing the drop off this morning.

Here we go...

P's BFF Bode on his first day looking sharp and ready to go!

Miss P started her first day at her new daycare! She is the youngest of 6 toddlers, with the next oldest being 18 months and the oldest tot at 3 years.

As soon as she walked in, she recognized Donna, gave her a big smile, and walked over to all the toys and play things. She soon forgot about us! Then, two toddlers came in, brother and sister James and Kate--she gravitated towards them in an instant. She was so engrossed with her new surroundings and the new kids that she didn't even care if we were there or not! So her Daddy and I were able to slip out, no problem!

I didn't worry about her throughout the day. I figured Donna would call me if anything came up. Plus, since I know Donna through Anne (previous daycare provider and Donna's mom), I was very comfortable with her being there.

That's not to say that RT and I weren't concerned. We were. We were anxious and a little worried with all these "big kids" and how she would handle all the new surroundings. Not to worry, though!

When I arrived to pick P up, she was sitting so nicely and quietly on Donna's lap eating her little O's. Donna said she did great! She went down easily for her naps, got along great with the other kids, and overall is a happy baby. That's what I like to hear! Our little Sweet Pea is growing up!

When we arrived home, P was so wired. It was crazy! We have never seen her so crazed like this. She was so active that she was walking super fast, tripping, and falling on her face. Things were getting too dangerous, and both RT and I had to get her out. It was too early to go to bed, so we went for a nice walk to her friend, Bode's house.

Bode also started a new daycare today, so it was nice to chat with Bode's folks to compare how our little babies did during their first day of "school". It seems like they are such "big kids" now since we have to pack their lunch and bring more things compared to the infant daycare.
