Happy Birthday!!

Happy First Birthday Matthew!!

Hard to believe it's been a whole year... I made a little collage of where we were just one year ago. It seems like yesterday...

Day 3 of daycare...

Well Matthew has figured out what daycare is all about, and let's just say he isn't too thrilled about it. In his words: "This is crap!"

That is to say, I had to pick him up early today because he has developed a case of diarrhea. Very clever little guy!!

Started daycare

Well Matthew took another leap into becoming a big boy today -- he started at daycare. He goes to stay with a lady named Heather, who watches two other boys while Matthew is there, Dakota who is 2.5 (Heather's son) and Eton who is 2. Heather is an ECE and used to work in a daycare center.

All in all I think it went well, he didn't cry when we left him there (although he did have a look of confusion on his face which was a bit disconcerting). When we picked him up he was both upset ("You left me here!") and happy to see us. Unfortunately he only slept for 15 minutes all day, which is a far cry from his usual 3-4 hours of naps in a day. He was a tired little boy tonight! Let's hope his future visits include a bit more sleep - for his and Heather's sake!
