Day Care Day 1

Well, we survived the first day. It was uncharted territory for both kids but they didn't cry when I dropped them off, hooray! And the most impressive thing is that I didn't cry either. WOW, huh?! I was amazed myself (at both things!). Emerson was so ready to get there and have me leave that she didn't want me to even kiss her goodbye. Apparently I'm already cramping her style at her age of 3! After I dropped Emerson off I headed to Cullen's room and he was already thinking it was a bad idea. He wrapped his little arm around mine, clung to my waist with his chubby legs and started saying "I wanna go home, Mama" over and over on the way to the room. I felt so bad and I just knew he would cry but he surprised me and when the teacher got him he just looked around. He didn't see me slip out but he was so overwhelmed by all the other very short individuals mulling around that he forgot to cry. However, the teacher said that he more than made up for it in the afternoon after nap time when he cried on and off and asked for his Mommy and Daddy. Talk about breaking my heart!!! Tripp and I went together to get the kids after work and Emerson was happy to see us and gave me an extra long squeeze but she's already excited about going back tomorrow. Cullen didn't cry when he saw us but before the teacher even told us we knew he had been judging by his swollen little eyes and the pitiful sniffle he does after he cries which he continues for an hour sometimes for dramatic effect! Anyway, I don't think I'll be getting away tomorrow morning without some tears from him but hopefully he will begin to adjust.
More to come. . .along with some cute pictures! :)
