First Day Of School
Jacob, Amy and I survived the first day of school. Jacob was definitely out of sorts when he was stripped from his bed and whooshed downstairs and getting milk and cereal shoved in his face. Then it was back upstairs to get changed into a cute outfit (yes, Amy input...) and a few last minute things and out the door...
Jacob was dropped off in the infant room to Miss Kenisha whom Jacob met while we were touring and signing up. He was a little apprehensive at first so she backed off and then took him after a bit. Amy got Jacob's belongings settled and said goodbye to Jacob. He wimpered a bit, but then was okay. Amy did a couple more things and then looked in the window before she headed off to work. She saw Jacob sitting on Miss Kenisha's lap reading a book and was content. It didn't help keep the tears from falling, so Amy quickly headed to the car and settled herself before heading off to work.
Jacob did really well today and Amy only called the school four times. I'm sure this isn't even close to the record of calls for a first day though... The first call found Jacob to be very clingy to Miss Kenisha, but he was doing fine. By lunch time, he was getting pretty tired and wimpered a bit because he didn't have his passy and apparently they couldn't find it and found a new one in their stash and immediately went to sleep.
Amy went to pick Jacob up tonight and found him in the infant room (this is the gathering place when the workers are coming and going). He was playing with some toys and looked up and gave him mommy a big smile and continued playing and pointing to something, so he was obviously enjoying his first day at school.
Jacob was very happy when he arrived home, but also was very tired. So, we were able to get him back into his routine from before and putting him to bed at 8 pm. It was a little rough for him to go to sleep, but his sleep training has been getting easier and easier.
So, the first day of school went well for everyone and I am sure Jacob will be looking forward to another day away...
