Next phase...here we come!

I cannot believe I started work yesterday!!! Where has the time gone? Seriously. But this is just the way life goes. It continues to change and evolve and I guess I'm on the ride. Here are some pictures from Garrison's 1st day of daycare.

Mama and her baby! I dressed him in his "See Ya Later Alligator" onesie because I thought it was appropriate. And because I'm a dork like that...

Daddy and his little man...

Sleepy boy riding in his brand spankin' new car seat in Daddy's car... When we handed him off to Ms. Darla he fell right asleep, making the leaving process a little easier...
Here he is after a hard day's play at daycare...

So the first day was not so bad because it was only a 1/2 day and I wasn't actually back at work. I still cried though. Atleast I made out the doors of the daycare before I fell apart. So then Bryan took me to breakfast because he knew how upset I was. What a great husband :) Seriously, I am so lucky to have him.

At breakfast we were talking and decided we really didn't like the daycare. I mean, it's fine, but it just doesn't have that warm kind of feel to it. Just kind of cold and impersonal. And, of all places, I want to feel totally comfortable and welcome there, and we just weren't feeling it. Great timing right??

So I had been wanting to check out another daycare that my friend Lisa had suggested but had been putting it off because they had a waiting list and I really thought we were going to be good with the Y. So we decided I should go take a look and possibly get on the list.

WELL, I freaking LOVED it. Seriously it was awesome. Family owned and run...it's a husband and wife and their 2 grown daughters. I immediately felt comfortable and just loved the atmosphere, not to mention the Director/Owner/Wife, Trudy. She said they were thinking about opening another baby room and she would keep in touch to let me know when a spot opened up. So I left feeling very excited and just hoping we could get Garrison in sooner rather than later.

Well, wouldn't you know that she called that evening!!! They decided to go ahead and open up the other room and our sweet boy could start next Monday. HALLELUIA!!! God is so good and He really takes care of us.

So we were planning on having Garrison finish out the week at the Y, but last night...more like early this morning...Bryan and I were both awake and he was like "I really have a bad feeling about bringing him back there." So we went with our gut and he's not going back. We got a little creative with childcare for the rest of the week and it all worked out...thanks to my mom and our friend Krisztina!

I'm looking forward to everything getting a little more settled next week. I don't think I could handle another emotional week like this!
