Little Angel when he sleeps
Bit tired, mummy
Daniel is in nursery now. A full-day session today!
As a bad start, he cried on and off while I was driving to get him to sleep ( he is not normally like this) before nursery. I dropped him off at 10am. He was smiling when I got him out of the car, once he saw the door of the nursery, he started to get upset, the the trauma of being left without mummy must flood back ( the memory area in his brain must be developed very well, I was thinking), I handed him, together with his little rucksack(in which I packed his milk and spare clothes),to one of the staff, he cried very hard with tears pouring down... Poor little thing! He must sensed this going to be all day...
After the drop-off of Daniel, I went to an optician for my eye test appointment. It felt such a relief to have an appointment done without Daniel's presence. My dentist appointment on Tuesday was completed with Daniel sitting on my lap while the dentist working on my teeth at the same time, it was so stressful as Daniel was crying when the dentist started drilling... However, I started to miss Daniel by lunch time, it felt so strange without him whizzing around my feet while I was cooking.
Picking him up in an hour...
(Added: when I went to pick up Daniel at 4pm, I expected to see his puffy eyes and red nose from crying. To my surprise, when I popped my head on the high window of the door, I saw him sitting there calmly in the cuddle of Karen's arm (she was cuddling another new-starter baby in the other arm) without any sign of puffy eyes and red nose. Apparently he had a 45 minute nap after lunch, which is another surprise to me, I had predicted that he wouldn't nap at all in the nursery. Karen said honestly that Daniel was very unsettled in the morning,but he was not distraught. I knew that as I phoned an hour later after dropping him off and was told he was still crying. Daniel's voice did get a bit hoarse though. Terry said he felt sad all day as if we abandoned Daniel today)

It must be such a big step for both you and Daniel. \
As mothers, we sometimes hope our kids grow up quickly so we can have more free time to do our own things; but sometimes we hope they stay defenseless babies so we can always protect them and feel needed... Do you feel the same?
No matter what we hope, they will grow up and explore the world themselves. Going to the nursery is just Daniel's first step... Hope he will enjoy his journey.
Yes. I would say i feel the same. A lot of things in the world we have to let go, don't we? On the other hand we can look forward to lots of other things... just like I am looking forward to Daniel's being older enough to be able to learn skiing...
