Evan's First Day Of Daycare

Today was Evan's first day at daycare.  I started him a couple days early (just like I did with Em) in order to get us both used to it. I dropped him off around 9:00 and said a pretty quick goodbye.  I knew if I stayed too long it would make me sad.  Dropping off Evan for the first time was just as hard as when I dropped off Em for the first time.  I liked knowing what to expect this time, but it didn't make it much easier.  :(  I was good and only called once to check on him.  He had just finished his second bottle.  They said he had a little bit of a rough start this morning, but was hanging out in his crib happily looking around when I called.  Evan is going to the same school as Em, so I know he's in good hands and that gives me piece of mind.  I picked both him and Em up around 3:30.  Not gonna lie, I watched the clock from about 1:00 on.  I had to wait til at least 2:30 to pick them up because that's when Em's naptime goes to and then Evan was due for a bottle around 3:15, so I made myself wait until after that bottle.  I couldn't wait to go pick them up though!!!

Evan's teachers said he did well.  They said the noise of the other babies bothered him a bit, but I already expected that.  His sister was the same way.  They said it takes about a week or so for them to adjust to all the noise.  They also said when the other babies cried, he would cry.  :(  He was sooo sleepy when I picked him.  I knew he would be.  He fell asleep as soon as we were in the car.   I remember when Em was a baby, she used to always need a nap as soon as she got home too.  Overall, I'm happy with how his first day went. 

Here is he after we got home. . .so sleepy!

Of course I can't leave sister out.  I was just as excited to pick up my girl from school today too!

And even more excited when I saw this little happy gram!

As for my day, I had a dentist appt this morning and then spent the afternoon shopping!  I did enjoy my "me time."  I love fall clothes, but shopping when you are still wearing 2 sizes bigger than your pre-pregnancy size - no fun!  I needed to get enough to get me through the first few weeks at work.  I'm hoping once I'm back at work and not snacking as much, maybe this weight will start to come off quicker (at least I can hope).  I'm planning on doing some more shopping during my "me time" tomorrow too.  :)
