daycare and working

Going back to work has been hard (and exhausting), but sending Ivan to daycare has been harder.

Ivan has two kinds of smiles, he has the ‘OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I CAN’T CONTAIN IT’ smile – which he usually gives me and Mike, and then he has the ‘Oh you’re funny and you’re talking to me YAY!’ smile, which he gives everyone. Multiple times this week as I’ve dropped him off with his teachers (Linda or Maria) he is giving them the ‘OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I CAN’T CONTAIN IT’ smile, which is paired with excited kicking feet.  I don’t know what goes on during the day, or how they are with him, but that’s pretty much the best gift he could give me – it’s like he’s saying ‘It’s okay momma, I like them!’

Thanks buddy.
