Lots of baby time today

I picked Lex up at 5:00pm
today and he was happy as can be. He crawled over, gave me a
big hug, and went right back to emptying the shelves of all of
the toys and books. I sat on the playroom floor and nursed him
and he was great. I think he had a good day.

Then we went to visit our friends Joanne and Des. She is
living in a very cute octogon-shaped house. Very small, but
very cute. Des and Lex played together, sharing teething
biscuts and lots of slobber. It was fun.

Tomorrow is another daycare day and then we are traveling
to MA this weekend. Poor Lex will be exhausted come Monday.
We’ll have to take a vacation some day.

First day away

Lex is in daycare right now.
As we speak. We dropped him off this morning and the owner
(Noreen) took him out of my arms and sat down at the table with
the other babies. Lex immediately reached for the Cheerios and
was a happy camper. They say the way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach and I think that holds true for babies as
well. At least this one. I had to leave for work, but Alan
stayed at the daycare for an hour or so. He sat at the table
and did some work. Lex didn’t even notice. Then he stopped by
work (to swap cars with me) and gave me an update on Lex. I
noticed :) My biggest worry was that official nap time is at
12:30pm, but Lex always has a morning nap as well. They babies
nap in the same room they play in, so I thought for sure Lex
would be a disaster by 12:30. Turns out all of the babies still
need morning naps, so although the official naptime is 12:30pm,
when Alan left around 9:30 (I think), he said all but one of
the babies was sleeping. One of the teachers rocked Lex to
sleep.

I can’t wait to pick him up this
afternoon. Daycare is definitely harder on the parents
:)
