First Day of Daycare
We started Caleb in daycare on Friday, since I will be returning to work on Tuesday and we wanted to give him a trial day before he begins full-time. Over the last 5.5 months we have left him at the gym and church nursery and with family and friends, so we were not worried about leaving him, though sad that this time has come. The time I have had at home with Caleb has been wonderful, and I am so thankful to have had this opportunity to bond with him and help him grow and learn about the world. Going back to work is going to be a transition in many ways. 1) re-integrating into work after being home for 6 months, 2) leaving Caleb in full-time daycare, 3) being a 2-person working household. When we picked him up in the afternoon, he was sitting contently in a swing. His report said he ate all his bottles and food and took 3 naps, so he seemed to make an easy transition. We know Caleb will have fun with all the kids...it will probably be harder on us than him, but we know and trust that he will be well taken care of -:).

Awww, seeing him with that backpack is so cute! Praying for your transition back to work!
It will definitely be harder for you and Nathan than Caleb Kids adjust really well and Caleb will have new experiences and opportunities to grow and socialize. It was wonderful that you could be home for the last six months - you will always treasure this time with him.
Caleb is the coolest kid in school now doubt! You'll do great momma!
Caleb will do great at Rainbow Station. We're glad he let them know on the first day that he is a Hoosier at heart!
Aww, mama! You're so strong. He's going to have a great time with his new friends and teachers, I'm glad you have a place that is a good fit for you all. Maybe he'll be a little social butterfly like his mom!
Go Hoosiers!
