After a 12.5 week maternity leave, it was time for the inevitable return to work. We had Dave drop Kyle off at daycare because I knew I'd be a wreck otherwise. So I said my 'goodbye' at home where handing him to Dave didn't seem so bad. The daycare director gave me a call at lunchtime to let us know that Kyle was doing well [she must've known I needed that!].
Kyle did great his first day! He took 4 bottles, napped a bit, and did lots of playtime. There are 2 other girls in his room and I think he likes showing off for them. Both his teachers - Miss Mallory and Miss MaryAnn really love him!
It was probably harder on Dave and I than Kyle. I miss the guy all day long and find it hard to focus when I'd rather be holding him. I suppose we will get used to it.
I'm only returning to work 3 days a week for now. Dave and I felt that the quality time with mom at this age was more important than the extra income.
