Simon started daycare today, at the Early Learning and Development Center right near us. He is in the Koala classroom, with a bunch of other 1-2 year olds and his teachers are Jonette and Kasey. He and Matt visited a few times last week, so he got to know the lay of the land a bit, but we were still pretty nervous to drop him off all day today.
So we got there, I started crying, and Simon, well, he didn't even notice us leaving. So much for separation anxiety!
We called to check in on him once during the day and they said he was doing well but not eating, which isn't terribly unusual.
We went back to pick him up at 4:30 and he had a great day! In fact, he barely noticed when we arrived to get him! Apparently he spent the day checking out every inch of the place, inside and out. And since he's still primarily crawling, his outdoor adventures apparently made him quite messy! But no tears all day and he made it through with one 35 minute nap (and promptly passed out in the car on the drive home).
So we're off to a good start. We feel great about this daycare and think Simon is going to remain very happy there.
Here are a few shots of him before we left this morning!
