I had a nice experience this morning. The
kids woke up happy and excited to go to daycare. Eve picked out
cereal spoons and milk while Lex packed blankets and doggies
into the daycare suitcase. They both ate breakfast and got
themselves ready (as best they can) and in the car. They were
happy the whole time. We got there and she took a book in while
he brought the suitcase in, both walked on their own, no tears,
both happy. We went inside, washed hands, big hugs and away I
went, with Lex standing at the window blowing kisses. The
teacher even called Lex “Mr. Lovey” when he was giving me a 3rd
or 4th hug goodbye. That made me happy to hear. I know he gives
her hugs and I appreciate that she sees him as “lovey” not
“obstinent” or “stubborn,” which were words that came up the
first day or two. Anyway, they seem to be settling into this
new routine quite nicely. That makes me happy :)
