Now that Davin is 14 months old it is time for him to start going to daycare. Up to this point I have been bringing him with me to work, but it has gotten to the point where I feel guilty. I feel guilty for having him cooped up with me in the office all day, and I feel guilty because I know I could be doing my job better. But it is really hard to do my job as well as I would like to when I have to take a break every so often to feed him, change him, or play with him. Both Davin and I are ready for a change and it is time for him to start socializing with other kids too.
We chose to send him to Annie's two days a week and he seems to be doing ok. The first day it took him a minute to warm up to Annie and the other kids, but once he did he happily played and took a nap as he should. The second day he went, he played and hung out no problem....but he refused to nap. Instead he screamed in his crib for quite some time until being rescued by Annie. She tried and tried to no avail - and of course he fell fast asleep on the ride home with me....little stinker! Yesterday was the same napping issue (poor Annie), but this time he cried and cried when I went to leave. It was so hard for me to walk out the front door but I knew I had to for both Davin's sake and mine.
I think the next few weeks will be interesting with him realizing he is getting droppped off and left behind. I know we will get through it, but I don't like that someone else has to figure out how to make him happy when he cries and cries and cries. I really hope for Annie's sake that he figures out its fun to be there with the kids and that taking naps is OK....wish us all luck!!
