Vincent's First Day

Today was Vincent's first day of daycare.  Overall it went pretty well.  I rushed out of school immediately after the bell rang and got there by about 2:45.  He survived and didn't look too unhappy when I went to pick him up.  He was sitting in Ms. Aquilla's lap and started crying immediately when he saw me.  However, when I picked him up he smiled and was fine.  He only ate 4 oz of his bottle all day and took two very short naps, but he did eat 2 jars of baby food.  He was a bit red eyed, either from crying or just lack of sleep, and he was ready to go to bed early.


Kyle sent me an email this morning about his drop off:

the morning was very good except for the I Spy books making Zachary need 4 attempts to put his coat on.  I didn't shout.

 The kids were very excited for Vincent's first day of school.  Isabella just kept asking, are you excited for school.

When we got in the van, Vincent smiled at Zachary and Zachary said, "oh he's getting really excited now."

  

on the way in I asked the kids to give Vincent advice for school.

Isabella - Don't worry, there are 3 bouncers for you to play in, if it's like I remember from my 2 year old class.

Zachary - They won't boss you around there like they do when you're 1 or 2 years old.

There was a sign on the window saying "Welcome Vincent" and the kids laughed when I held him up to see it.

Mr. John was there and he talked a lot to the kids.  He checked with me about feeding and stuff and he read your note.  Isabella told him about the bouncers, and Zachary talked about how he doesn't do much homework for school. 

They were very good - supportive and excited for him and we left with no fuss.  Vincent was eyeing Aquilla the way he does.  There was one walking kid there when we left.  It could not have gone more smoothly.

The Internet option is not up now, I didn't press John for details but he said you could call all day if you want.

So I hope you have a great day.  Isabella was sad that we can't go pick him up all together.  I hope you have a good day.

I should teach now.  I love you.
