Owen's First Day of Daycare

Owen had his first day of daycare on Tuesday. He'll be going two days a week for June and July, and then full time in August before Kathleen starts back to work in September. He seemed to have a really good time at daycare! When we dropped him off, we just put him down on the floor and started crawling around and playing with the toys. As we were leaving, he just smiled at us.

When Kathleen went to pick him up at 3:30, he screamed when he saw her and made such a commotion that he upset the little one next to him. Owen came home with an "I made it through my first day of daycare" certificate, a nice smiling picture (see below), and his first accident report. It seems that Owen was having such a good time crawling around the playroom that he tried to crawl up something and fell on his face a little. So, he has a little bit of a black eye. But that didn't ruin his day, because he seemed to have a great time (just see the smiles in the picture).

After he was home, he was even in a better mood. He hung out with Mommy and Daddy and played with his toys without demanding to be held. And he ate all of his food for dinner without a fuss. He was such a big boy for his first day of daycare! We're so proud of him!
