TGIF

I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm not back to work until next week but this week has been tough emotionally with Cole starting his daycare visits. Pictures above and below that are from their website. Monday-Wednesday were 1 hour visits then yesterday and today he was in for 6 hour days. Next week he will be there f/t from about 8:30-5:30 through the week. He's been upset off and on through his visits and they haven't been able to get him to nap other than a quick catnap in a bouncy seat-- well, better that than nothing I guess. Thankfully his eating doesn't seem to be affected (which I'm told can sometimes happen) if anything he is eating more. He's just started eating table food recently so even though I'm fairly certain he'll do fine with their menu I've been packing a lunch for him as well. I guess he's been polishing off both lunches quite nicely... Jeff and I joke he must be an emotional eater! His teachers at The Toybox are Miss Arlene, Miss Andrea and Miss Tammy. Arlene and Andrea are identical twins and I'm having quite the time telling them apart. Everyone there is really nice and I'm glad I'm able to call to check-in at anytime through the day. I love that we're able to drop off just Cole there everyday... nothing has to be brought back and forth... diapers, sunblock, bottles, etc are all brought in and stocked there, even a spare set of clothes and if anything happens they put the clothes in the wash there. Among other things that I love about this daycare is the security system there. It was designed and built to be a daycare and is well set up with cameras covering everywhere from the parking lot to each individual room. Additionally there is a key coded entry. At the end of everyday we get a paper with the details of his day-- what and how much he ate, results of diaper changes, nap times, and a little summary of the day. Yesterday's summary was funny because along with him being sad off and on throughout the day they had written that "he loved sitting with the baby dolls!" Jeff didn't seem to find this very funny though, but I say whatever makes him happy!

also not shown there are 2 rooms going off behind... they are all assigned a crib where they (hopefully soon, in Cole's case) nap
