First day of day care

I may have been very slack so far in recording James' achievements in his baby book, but next Wednesday will be a landmark:  his very first full day at the nursery.  I can hardly imagine what it will be like to leave him in the little building across the street, and walk away for 7 hours.

Today was the first of a three day gradual settling in program.  It was relatively mild - 90 minutes, with me in attendance the full time.  Even so, we had a minor catastrophe only 10 minutes into his visit.  I was admiring the messy artwork created by some youngster, and while I was looking away, sweet little Celeste managed to whack James on the head with a plastic truck.  The attendant hurriedly put a cold compress on the bump.  The rest of the stay passed without incident, aside from James attempting to eat the paint off his paintbrush.  But clearly, we need to toughen our little boy up!
