Kid's first day at daycare

Well I had to take the kids to daycare today after the most wonderful 12 weeks of my life. I don't start work for a couple of days but I had to go work on the condo I used to live in so Joe and I can sell it. (that could be another blog - why not to own rental properties). Joey was sobbing when I left Goddard School - on the way there he kept saying "BYE BYE - BOUNCE?" because he thought we were going to the bouncy place. I knew he would be ok, which he was, he ate all his lunch, took his two hour nap, and played. When I picked him up he seemed fine. I hated leaving Christina, she's just so little, when I got her home she cried at every little noise (which was a lot of crying, since Joey is pretty noisy), and was a little fussier than usual.

They were there for 9 hours today, way too long. So now I'm stress eating cookies, even though I have been dieting and keep reminding myself of how I looked pre-kids and how I would like to be that thin again.

So this is what Joey and I did this evening after his dinner of hotdogs and ketchup, yogurt, and carrots (the guilty mom dinner - what Joey wants Joey gets). We put together what he called "my track" out of foam alphabet blocks and he drove his tractor on it and ran up and down.
