1st Week Back to Work

Day 1 - Monday

We only have daycare 2 days a week until April. On Monday's Jerry watches Ben. It is much easier to leave when you have to sneak quietly out of the house because the 2 of them are sleeping!! Plus knowing that Jerry was home with him all day, also made it much easier to go back to work.

Here is Jerry and Ben watching Ellen...well he fell asleep watching Ellen.

Day 2 - Tuesday

1st Day at daycare. It was not easy leaving him in the hands with someone else. Although, when I dropped him off at daycare, it was nice to know she had prepared the kids for Ben's arrival. Cadee (Our daycare lady) had let all the kids know that Ben was coming. Her little boy was so excited to see him. She had a special blanket that was Ben's area, and it was quiet toy day, so Ben was able to get used to being around other kids and his new environment!! I did shed a few tears leaving the little guy behind. Luckily he was happy as clam hanging out there and his report card said he did wonderful!

Here he is when we picked him up!

Day 3 - Wednesday

Off to Grandma & Grandpa Clifford's house! This drop off was a little bit easier knowing he was going to be with family!

Here he his with dad getting ready to leave the house!

Day 4 - Thursday

Back to daycare he went! This time the drop off went much better! The kids at daycare were all waiting by the front door for Ben's arrival and couldn't wait for me to take him out of his carrier so they could see him. He must have had a good time, because he was zonked out when I brought him home!

Coming home from daycare

Day 5 - Friday

Off to Grandma & Grandpa Stadler's!! G&G are right on my way to work, so it's very easy to just swing on by! Also, since they are only 5 minutes from my work, I was able to go over and have lunch with the little guy!

Here he is getting ready to go to grandma's!

Lucky for me, I had lots of stuff to do at work, so the days flew by and before I knew it, it was time to leave!!
