It created a pretty significant daycare upheaval for us. It was supposed to be our first day back to the regular routine and I brought Ben to a house he'd never been to spend the day with people he didn't know.
He was shy when we arrived and whined when he realized I was going to leave him there. He called for me as I left and waved pitifully from the window as I pulled out of the driveway.
It was the first time in a very long time that I felt bad about leaving him.
BUT...
(You know what's coming, don't you?)
He did great! He ate better than I warned her he would and napped longer than I ever thought he would.
Also?
He had fun.
Played with a boy his same age and that boy's older sister. Picked strawberries from their garden, jumped on their trampoline and played. Hard.
(Bonus: I got regular text updates and even a few pictures throughout the day to make me feel better. Jodi loves to take pictures. See:"Jump!")
In retrospect, I'm feeling really good about raising such a confident little man. Had the tables been turned, I'd likely still be holding a grudge :)
