Day 2 Daycare Trial Run...

Well, we stayed a little longer at daycare today. I stayed with him for an hour and then left for about 1/2 an hour. The teachers told me he did well, but then they took him down to the sensory room and he was not too happy about that. The sensory room is a big room with a drain and the kids get to do fun tactile activities, like play with rice, beans, whipping cream, water, etc. The kids dress down to diapers and then have fun. Today was rice day and I thought Bradyn may have liked that because he loves playing with rice at home. Unfortunately, I think it may have reminded him of bath time at the baby home and he cried uncontrollably. Luckily, I had come back during that time and was able to calm him down. We then stayed until lunch time. That didn't go over so well either. He kept getting bites of broccoli and carrots and his taste is just like Papa's...NO VEGGIES! So, we ended up eating another lunch at home. He does enjoy playing with the toys and enjoys the other kids. The other kids were all concerned about Bradyn and kept bringing him his Mickey Mouse toy. He even gave his teacher a hug goodbye today. So, hopefully tomorrow will continue to get easier.

Brady, it'll get better.....just be patient. I don't think I'd be too excited about the tactile room either. Good luck today...

Oh Heidi! Poor little guy. You are so smart to do a practice run! I am going to need parenting lessons from you!
Hope you guys had fun at the beach -- I am living vicariously!

Baby steps, right? Hang in there. He'll probably be the star of the class.

He'll get the hang of daycare once he really figures out that you are coming back everyday. Daniel looks forward to his days at daycare now. He runs right in. Sometimes I miss the hugging the leg, pry him off of me days, but at the same time, it's fun to watch him run in and find his friends and start interacting happily. Bradyn will be that way soon enough!
