First Day of School

Yesterday was my first day back at work! Sunday night when I was putting Noah to bed, I almost cried because I didn't think I'd see him the next morning before I went to work. Later on Peter made me cry, saying, "Poor Noah...he's going to be happily playing around, and then all of a sudden he'll look around for you and you won't be there. He's going to be so sad..." Real nice, huh? I ended up going to work a little later though, and was able to see him before leaving. Later that day I met Peter and Noah at the pediatrician's office for Noah's 1-year check-up. He is currently around 21 lbs (40%-ile), 31 inches tall (80%-ile), and I forget his head circumference. Peter's still hoping that Noah will be 6'5" when he grows up.

Today was Noah's first day at daycare. Peter dropped him off this morning at around 8:45, and apparently he cried for about 10 min after Peter left. :( I'm just glad I wasn't the one dropping him off. I think I definitely would've cried. So sad! I know he'll be okay physically so I'm not really worried about him, but it is sad to leave him there crying. He also only slept for about 40 min during naptime. Also sad. He ate a lot though! According to the sheet they gave me when I picked him up, he basically devoured everything they gave him. When I picked him up, he seemed really confused when he first saw me. He just looked at me for a few seconds, then started crying. He calmed down pretty quickly though. I know that it will take at least a week or two for all of us to adjust, so for day one, I think things went pretty well.
