Of daycare and work





Well, last week I went back to work for the first time after being off for 10 weeks. It was so hard to leave Elijah at the daycare facility that my first few days were really rough. The first day was not nearly as bad as the second day. I didn't realize how tired I would be on day two of work. Jason and I have a really nice system set up to deal with baby duty, but I never thought that I would be so tired the first day I went back to work. I think I was napping on the couch by 6:30 that evening.

Daycare - well it is wonderful. Elijah is cared for so well. He has some amazing "teachers". Ms. Rachel, Ms. Roseanne, Ms. Jan, and Ms. Myra. I love all those women. Each night wehn I leave with Elijah, Ms. Jan and Ms. Myra always tells their "buddy" goodbye and they will see him tomorrow. They really do care about him and the other 5 kids in his class. Mommy and daddy do not have to worry at all about the care that he is getting while they are both at work.

Milestones - last Monday he went and had his 2 month shots and did awesome. He also got checked out. He is now 9 pounds, 21 1/4" long and is growing like a weed. He is also eating cereal and it is so funny to see him eat cereal off of a spoon. The minute one of us takes it out of his mouth he screams as if we are starving him. Plus it is so cute when it is in his hair, on his hands and all over his mouth.
