As I expected, I cried over and over last night as my husband did the bedtime routine with Silas as I didn't want to shower him in my tears on the final night before daycare. And, as expected, come 5:45 in the AM, I was completely over it and simply focused on getting myself and my beautiful little man ready for the day. I even managed to wake him up from a deep sleep gently and without tears. This is a huge accomplishment because he WAILS if he is woken up from sleep.
We got to the daycare early and were able to go for a little walk, killing some joggers with cuteness along the way. He was the first little man to be dropped off and immediately went to play with whichever toys were nearest. I was able to get in and out in 3 minutes and be at work with a single minute to spare. I didn't cry at all today and I doubt I really will again with this issue. It is already part of our routine.
Work was all orientation, conversation, and other such casual time-wasting awesomeness. The only downside to this job is that it is temporary. I even like my desk/cubicle tucked away in the very back of the office. It was great to see everyone again. And then when it was all over, I was able to zoom back to my Silas and find him playing outside in the sand. A lady asked me which boy was mine and without pointing I said it was Silas. She grinned and said "Oh! The smiley one!" That made my heart so happy! He is a smiley one! And I'm so glad that he was smiley without me around as well. He hardly napped, only 50 minutes before he woke up, but he'll get the hang of it. We tried to go out to eat, but it was a bust. He was too tired. He was asleep, fast asleep, by 7pm.
My sweet boy... I think we'll make this work after all. :)
And there is even better news to report and reflect upon tomorrow, but that will have to wait for another blog post. :)
