Xander's First Day Away


This past week was a big one for Xander because on Tuesday Tracy went back to work and he went to daycare.

Last Monday, March 24th, was Tracy's last day home with Xander so her and Haley (who had the day off from school) spent all day spoiling him (like I would have).

Neither Tracy or I slept the greatest on Monday night. I'm sure we were both kind of worried about how he would do and what would happen.

I was up early like usual with Xander, only this Tuesday I couldn't take him back up to Tracy when I had to get ready.

Tracy and I tag-teamed him and got ready really early. So early in fact that we had to wait around to even leave the house!

Tracy went straight to daycare while I dropped off Haley at school. I came a few minutes after Tracy so we could both see him off for his first day of daycare.

I can't even imagine what that was like for Tracy. I thought it was hard enough leaving him after a week, but after 10 weeks it must have just killed her.

It was nice being able to email Tracy during the day again at work, but I could tell she wanted to go check on him. Angie, our daycare provider, sent her an email at about 10 that morning telling Tracy that everything was going well. I think that really helped sooth Tracy, and she went out to eat with her coworkers that day.

I went and checked on Xander for Tracy around 2:30 so one of us saw him the first day, and he was doing great. He is a huge hit with the other kids, so he has lots to keep him busy.

After work we didn't want to put him down, sohe was extra hapy after that! All in all, it was a good frist day for Xander. I hope many more are to follow.
