Toxic Donkey in hand and comfy in his armrest laden front-facing chair, Nicholas was off to his first day at child care this week. How did it go....?.
Suspecting something was up he clung to me - resisting all offers of sandpits and nuts & bolts toys. Heartbreaking as it was, I left him with the lovely girls and at the centre that we'd visited a few times already. Although there were tears, he calmed quite quickly (so I'm told!) and played and ate and napped and ate with his new friends. Oops, did I say "ate" twice?!

Nicholas will be going once a week until I return to work in May when he'll then attend two days. I've been lucky to line up my return to permanent work on a half fulltime basis so, together with Nanna's Day, the week will be well covered - enough for me for work and leaving plenty of time for play.

Go Nicholas! I hope you come to love it as much as Matteo does - sometimes I think he prefers nursery to home. I've been really lucky with work being flexible, but sadly have no Nanna close by to do a day. She and Matteo would both love that but I'm not sure the baby jetlag would be worth it. Speaking of which, we're planning a September visit to Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteSO excited that you'll be here in September. We CANT wait to see you all :)
