week 10

Bennett is starting daycare this week.  It's back to work for mommy next week so we are doing part time this week to test the waters.  It took us a long time to pack everything up for his first day. We were unsure how much he is going to need to eat and how many diapers he will use and what toys he is going to use so we brought a lot of stuff.  And, Mommy had a very hard time taking Bennett so things dragged out a bit.  It was one of the hardest things I have ever done to leave Bennett the first day.  I spent most of the morning crying before and after dropping him off and couldn't wait to pick him up after the four hours he was spending there.  We dressed him up in one of his cutest outfits and off we went.

He did really well even though mommy was so worried.  He took a couple of naps, drank some milk, took a poop and played with the kids. Or, rather the kids played with him.  They love having a baby around.  All of them ran over to greet him when we came in and surrounded him in his car seat.  He looked up at them with a very curious stare.  One of the girls liked Bennett most out of them all.  Her name is Scarlett and she is very persistent at giving Bennett hugs.  In the first five minutes she must have tried at least 5 or 6 times.

I was very excited to pick Bennett up in one piece.  He was also very happy when I picked him up which means he had a good time.  He spent half days at day care for the rest of the week. It was just as hard the second day but it got much easier as the week went on.  I am glad that we took him in while I was still home because it helped relieve a lot of stress not having to deal with Bennett in day care and going back to work at the same time.
