So the hubby took him (there was no way I could leave him on his first day). Julian dropped him off, after the boys drove away I started to cry but pulled myself together and became a tough mama. I put my makeup on, jumped in my car, tried to sing to the radio. The whole time worrying about my little monster. I forced myself not to call when I got to my desk at 8:00. At 9:00 I was staring at the clock wondering when it was too soon to "check in" on him. At 9:15 I hear my cell phone ringing from my purse. Sure enough it was his teacher. Not the receptionist at the front desk but his actual teacher. She was on break and decided to call me personally and tell me how he was doing. I felt so good that she called. She said he was being WONDERFUL!
She told me about his morning and how he was doing. It made me feel allot better. Then at about 10:30 I got an email from a good friend of mine named Rachel. She works at his new daycare. We've known each other for years and she is a really nice girl. She went into Coopers class and played with him and gave him hugs and took pictures of him with her I phone for me and emailed me a little message letting me know how he was and gave me pictures. I wanted to cry. But in a good way. I really appreciated how nice the girls were being.
The rest of the day went the same as the morning. I got at least 2 more emails from Rachel with pics attached. It really helped me to know he was doing good. When I went to pick him up he was happy as can be. Smiling and playing with the other babies. I missed him so much though.
Today Rachel sent me another update. They swaddled him today and he took a nice 2 hour nap for them this morning. So she sent me a picture of him all wrapped like a hot dog. Too funny.
The first two pictures are from yesterday and the second is from today. Please excuse the quality they were taken in a dark room with an i-phone.
He seems to be adjusting really well. Thank heavens.
I appreciate all your prayers.
Tonight I will post on our fun weekend with my family. We had a GREAT time and took lots of pictures of the kids. I can't wait to share!

Aw that was so sweet of them to keep you updated! I know that It's tough being your first time leaving him. I completely understand. I cried too. It's all part of being a first time mommy. No worries he'll love it eventually & he will learn so many new things. And before long I'm sure you'll appreciate that time away from him just taking time for yourself. How long is he in daycare for, like M-Fr.,all day? Hugs ♥
So glad that things are going well for you and Cooper! Our nanny is leaving us, so we're in the stressful process of figuring out what to do! Jackson's MDO program doesn't start until the Fall...
Aww. I am so glad he is doing so well. I would have cried too but it's just a Momma thing. How sweet of the girls to update you like that. I know it must make you feel so much better!
The pictures are just adorable. He is so precious.
So glad to hear that he & you did well the first day! I know that had to be hard on you. That is really nice of them to send you pics throughout the day so you can see what's going on!
Thanks for the sweet advice! I'm sure he'll do fine too but of course I can't help but worry about him adjusting. Have a good afternoon!
you poor thing! I know how tough it is, but it does get easier. Those pictures are precious.
Aww! I know how hard it is! I ended up giving up like 3 times and going to get Mist early!! The finally would start texting me updates about her they knew I was a nervous wreck about her being away from me and staying with someone besides family!!! I do agree though it does get easier!
That's so great that you have people to send you pics and updates throughout the day! My close friend watches my little one and it's nice to get a random picture saying, "I miss you mommy!" I bet he loves his new daycare and all the kids around him! Hang in there sweetie! My mom always told me that the missing your baby part gets better as time goes on... well I still miss her like crazy everyday at work! We just love our kiddos! Can't wait to see pics from your weekend!
Looks like he is having a great time!
Aww!! I am glad he is doing well and you too!! Hang in there!! I am sure it will get easier! That was so nice of them to email you pics!!
Aww little Cooper looks like he's doing just great :) What a sport!
What a great first day! It's awesome that they kept you updated. That daycare sounds perfect!
I understand the tears and probably would have them in that situation too. The pics are adorbable as usual :)
Awww how sweet! I completely understand! Communication with his teacher is key. Unfortunately B's first teacher didn't communicate well so I was worried about him all the time. So glad you have a friend there to keep an eye on him for you too!
I bet that was tough, good decision not to take him :).. I am so glad the girls are great with him and great about keeping you in the loop. That must have made you felt great about the place you chose. I can't believe he is still swaddled like that!
Oh how sweet, that has got to make you feel good and ease your mind! He is taken care of and those people really care!!! That's so wonderful! He's such a cutie-pootie! I wanna squeeze him!
xoxo
Sounds like he's doing great! Like my sis says, now you can think about him at daycare and not worry about him there. :-)
How wonderful that he did so well!!!! That si awesome you have a friend that works there that can update you like that too!!!
Awww, that's so great that he's doing so well at his new daycare! :) I'm so glad to hear it.
And, I'm loving that last picture of him all bundled up....absolutely ADORABLE!
awww, what a little sweetheart! glad he adjusted so quickly, but I totally understand the worry, that never ends - I'm seriously going to cry my eyes out when I have to go back to work and leave BB in a couple months :(
He is so cute! I love the hot dog picture! It seems like they are really loving and caring! I'll be praying for his safe and sound adjustment!
XO,
Erin
So glad you found such a wonderful daycare for him. That is so wonderful of the teachers and your friend to keep you informed!
Aww, that is so extremely sweet of them to call and email you personally to let you know how Cooper was doing! I am so glad to see that he adjusted quickly to this daycare!
I am so glad that Cooper is doing so well at his new daycare. That first day had to be difficult for you!
Awww I'm so happy he's been doing well at daycare I know how much you struggled with this!!
What a relief, huh? Glad to hear it!
that was sooo nice of those 2 girls to call you and take pictures and send emails! just what mama needed!
aweee! that is so sweet! You are so lucky that they keep you updated with pictures and calls. I know that must be so comforting!
