Daycare...Round I

Well, I did it. I took Carter to his first day of daycare (or "school" as they say). I won't lie, I was a complete and total wreck leaving him with a stranger. Carter, well, he smiled as I left and smiled when I picked him back up this afternoon...so not nearly as wimpy as mommy!

I won't name any names here, but let's just say that my wishful thinking that this brand-new daycare would work out was, well...disastrous. Maybe it's just because I'm an engineer and therefore like order, but these folks were so disorganized, it was pitiful! They didn't have his file, they didn't have any forms for me to fill out (with his eating, sleeping, etc. habits), they didn't even have all of the teachers there yet, and the kicker...they didn't even make me pay!

So, what would any good mother do? I called my own mother for advice (followed by several friends)! I then followed said mom's advice and drove straight to my "back up" daycare (about 1 mile from this one) and registered Carter. He starts tomorrow! Phew! I didn't even have the nerve to tell today's place why I'm not coming back...ugh!

While waiting it out (and pretending to be strong) while Carter tried out his first day, I went to the salon and got a rockin' new 'do. Maybe I'll get a photo to post up tomorrow when I write about Round II...which will hopefully be better than today! Finally, here's a cute pic of the lil' man with his ducky to make me (and hopefully you) smile:


Happy Hump Day!
