2011 was so good to us and i'm so excited for what 2012 will bring. we are infinitely MORE busy than ever these days and exhausted too! but, we're getting the hang of this whole 2 under 2 thing if i do say so myself! every day is an adventure :)
our little man started daycare today. he is in the same room that emma was in at his age and it brings back so many memories. dropping him off today was so hard. i've spent almost all day every day with him since he was born so passing him over to his new teachers {who i really like} was difficult. his big sister was so excited and so proud to bring him to school....she's was chanting "bring baby ben to school!" all the way to daycare. she came with us as we prepped his crib and got him all settled. looking at her play in the room as i got ready to leave and clung tightly onto little ben reminded me that she did so well here. she met new friends and learned new skills and somehow that made me feel more comfortable leaving him. he jumped right into the fun and was squealing in delight under an entertainment mat as we gave kisses and then left to drop emma off in her class.
i visited at lunch and got a huge smile upon my arrival. that made the day and was just enough encouragement to get me through the rest of my workday. still, i miss him like crazy and it doesn't get easier just because we've done it with emma.
ben's teachers told us at the end of the day that he was "JOYful". if that's not a great start, to a new daycare and a new year, i don't know what is.
