Over The Sickness...

Well, Caleb is over his first sickness from day care.  I was really worried about him going back to "school" after being gone for 4 days but he had a really good day yesterday.  It seems that he a good day today as well.  He is starting to sleep a little more and eat a little more and he is getting good reports on his daily report sheet.  I'll keep you updated on how he is doing and I'll try to get some new pictures up soon.  Until then...

Already Sick...

Just 3 days into day care, Caleb got sick.  I stayed home with him yesterday because he did not feel good at all.  He didn't have a very good day on Wednesday so I figured that I would see how he did on Thursday morning.  He didn't do so hot so I stayed home to keep an eye on him.  He didn't have a great day.  He would go in spurts.  This morning, I got him up and his little nose was covered in green snot so I took him to the doctor and his daddy met us there.  Clayton stayed home with him after the doctors visit since I was out yesterday I didn't need to stay out today.  I hope that he gets better over the weekend.  I think that some rest and the medicine that the doctor gave him will get him ready to return to day care on Monday.  I'll keep you updated on his condition.  Until then...

His 1st Day Was Great...

Well, according to his daily report, Caleb's 1st day of school went really well. They read a book and sang a song on played and played and played. His report did say that he did pretty well napping on the mat. That was one of my biggest worries. She did say, however, that he is going to have to learn how to stay quiet during nap time. I think that he will pick up on that pretty quick. At least I hope he does.

He was extremly tired when we got home last night. He ate dinner and then he got a bath and then we let him play for a few minutes. He would play and then he would put his head down on the couch for a minute and then he would get up and play some more. That went on for about 30 minutes so at about 7:50 we put him in the bed. He never cried but he did talk for a little while and finally, I guess around 8:30 or so, we didn't hear anything else out of him.

I hope that today goes well for him. I'll let you know tomorrow how he did today. Until then...

Today Was The Day...

Today was Caleb's 1st day at school. When he got up this morning, I was talking to him about going to school and what a big boy he was and he was just all excited. When I pulled into the parking lot at the day care, he started saying "PAY!PAY!" (which means "play") as if he knew where we were. It was kind of cool. When we walked into the front door, he continued to say "PAY!PAY!" When we went back to the room, I put him down and he was just full of excitement and joy and he went straight for the toys. It's like he had been doing this all along. When the teacher put him at the table for breakfast, he saw that I was still in the room talking with his teacher and he started crying. As soon as the crying started, I walked out of the room into his actual room to put all of his things down and when I was done talking with the teacher, I peeked back into his room and it's like I wasn't a worry anymore. He was eating and watching the other kids and eager to get down and play. I was sooo... proud of him. He is growing up and becoming a little man now. He is no longer a baby. He will ALWAYS be MY BABY though!

I'll update you tomorrow on how the rest of the day went for him. I'll find out today when I pick him up so until tomorrow...

Just A Few More Days...

There are only a few days left until Caleb starts Day Care. I can't believe that it's already time for me to put him in Day Care. I just feel like he shouldn't be old enough to go to Day Care.


I'll be taking him to the Day Care on Friday to let him play and see how he acts with the other kids and the teachers. I really want to see how the teachers and the other kids take to him too. I'm going to take him to the doctor first to get 2 shots that he never got when he turned 1 and then we are going to go to the new Day Care so that I can meet with the lady that is in charge of that one and after all of that, we are going to go and test out this whole Day Care Thing. I'm sure that he will do fine. It's me that I'm worried about but I think that I'm going to take it ok.

Sorry It's Been So Long...

I know that it has been a long time since I have given everyone an update on Caleb. We have just been very busy and I haven't really had time to get on and write. Caleb is doing very well. He is growing like a weed. He is getting into everything and he wants to help me or Clayton with whatever we are doing. He loves to be outside. He will walk to the front door and point and say "side, side." When he is ready to go back in he does the same thing. He is very smart. We are very proud of him.

We just found out a week ago that Caleb's Grammy (she keeps him for us during the day) is going to have to go back to work. It has really been stressful for us trying to figure out how we are going to pay for this but we know that it will all work itself out. We are just going to put it in God's hands and pray that he show us how to do it. He is going to have to start Day Care. He is going to be starting on Monday (April 14th) at Wee Steps in Sharpsburg. To tell you the truth, I'm very nervous but yet kind of excited about putting him in a Day Care. I have been wanting to do it but I really wanted to wait until he was at least 2. I guess 17 months is close enough. We are really going to miss having Grammy keep him for us and I know that he will miss seeing her everyday but he will have lots of fun and make lots of friends. He will learn sooo... much in Day Care.

Well, that is just a tiny update on what is going on in the world of Caleb right now. I'll update you Monday and let you know how I took dropping him off for the first time at Day Care.
