Last week was Oscar's first week of daycare. It was really hard dropping him off the first day, Dan and I were both sobbing when we left and continued to cry throughout the day! This is not a t-shirt we drop off to have cleaned, this is our precious little baby and it was heart wrenching to leave him with a stranger. It really didn't help that we never had him babysat at any point before so we were really new at someone else taking care of him.
One of us went to see him every day at lunch which was nice. It was still so very hard to see him look over his shoulder at me as I was leaving with the look of "where are you going?" on his little face. But, I think he is happy there, his teacher Ki has been with the daycare for years and is so great with him. She tells me what they did and what new things he likes which makes me happy. We've had a few issues with another teacher, but we are working through them. All in all I know Oscar is doing well and that makes it easier for me to be at work.
He had his 4 mo check up on Monday and has been a bit out of sorts since, not wanting to eat, crying and fitfully sleeping. I hope he'll be back to his usual self soon, though he still manages to smile and giggle even when he's out of sorts.
In amongst all this change we are moving. We've sold our townhouse and are packing up to move into temporary housing while we continue to search for a new home. We are having mixed emotions selling our place, happy to sell, but sad to leave our home of 10 years and all the memories there. The home purchase process is frustrating and Dan and I struggle to see the silver lining each day, but we are trying to be hopeful that the home we are supposed to be in for our future will show itself soon.
I'm hoping to be a bit of a better blogger now and keep a better diary of how Oscar is learning and growing. I may even post a video or two :)
