Dan Robbins' space

Today is my first official day at daycare so I started with a half day.  Mommy and Daddy came with me for the first hour and then I stayed on my own from 1:30-4:30.  For snack we all had fresh mango slices and crackers. Afterwards, I took a nap for over an hour! I couldn't believe it myself - it's kind of loud with those other babies in there but I guess I was tired from our fun-filled weekend in Port Townsend.  I had my favorite luvvie's with me for naptime - ducky and bear - that helped.  

This is a difficult day for our family, there's no way around that...but, we are going to give daycare a trial period of 2 months and see how it goes.  I actually like it there, being the social, adaptable kid that I am but mom and dad are feeling pretty awful about it!  I will be going 2 days per week. My teachers are really nice: Ms. Holly and Ms. Bouka...and I like the other babies in my class.  They also have really great toys and lots of space to play, crawl and work on that whole walking thing...in a few months (if I am still there) I will graduate to the toddler room where we'll do more organized activites like arts -n-crafts and music time with a guitar and singing teacher.  My daycare is across the street from Daddy's office and 10 minutes from Mommy's office (Y.E.S.) where she starts in a few weeks (www.youtheastsideservices.org). She'll get to help lots of kids and that's good for the world but she's going to REALLY miss being with me everyday. 

Starting this fall, the rest of my week's will be filled with activities in Seattle from Gymboree to an infant/parent co-op at Seattle Central Community College with other babies my age and their mommy's or daddy's too.  Watch for updates and photo's from our fun-filled summer - coming soon!
