When I went back to work in January, my mother in law Lisa started to watch the kiddos at our house. I was very relieved because I had TERRIBLE mommy guilt about going back to work and leaving Travis. She would come over everyday, get Kaylie off to school and then take care of TRavis until Kay got home from school. It was a great set-up! We decided a few months ago that we were getting close to wanting to put Travis into school so that he could start meeting other kids and be more socialized.
Kaylie started school at 3 months old- she never really knew any different. It was still extremely hard on me to leave her and there were many many times that I cried in the parking lot after I walked out of her school. I would call to check on her all of the time. It did get alot easier because I loved her school. They were wonderful to my family!
Well fast forward 6 years and now its Travis's turn to go to school. I was a complete mess. He seemed to do just fine but I think he was just in awe of all of the toys and little people his size! I cried daily for the first few weeks. I have awful mommy guilt with him. I don't know if its because he is our last baby or that I just am at that point where I want to stay home and be there more for the kids- I have no idea- but I've been an emotional wreck about leaving my little guy.
To his credit, he's done great. He loves playing with the other kids and is constantly trying to hug them and kiss them. He got a note sent home his first day because apparently, he and another little boy both wanted the same toy- TRavis won but decided to hit the other boy in the face with the toy, maybe to mark his territory? Either way, they said that when the little boy started crying, Travis got terribly upset and was crying too. So he's a sensitive guy. My sweet boy.
Steven hates it but he LOVES his baby. He carries it around with the arm hanging out of his mouth. I think its adorable!
They did inform me that he will be moving to the next classroom since he's almost one, is a mini giant and has been walking for almost 3 months! So that will happen the week after his birthday.
Here are some pics of him from his first day! My sweet big boy, who is almost one. :)
