Week 1 of day care has surprisingly gone really well for Hunter. For me, it has been pretty tough. Not that I think that his day care is doing a bad job taking care of him but it is more of a personal thing with me. My maternity leave is coming to an end and I'm not going to spend every moment of every day with him. He has definitely adjusted well and all of his teachers love him (I mean who could not love his cute little face)! They have done a really great job with keeping me posted of his progress throughout each of his days. They called me the first day to let me know when he drank all of his bottles and each time of when they put him down for a nap. Then for the rest of the week they let me know about how much milk I will need to leave for him each day and then for emergency's I have left the formula that he takes when I feed him at night. In their nursery they have a sheet that they write down at what time each feeding and nap time takes place that I can see every day. He is already pretty much on a schedule there. I have dropped him off by 7:30 am each morning (which will be more like 7 am when I return to work) and he takes a nap by 10 am then his second nap at 1 pm and then his 3rd nap at about 4-4:30 pm. So each day that I have gone to pick him up at 5:30 pm he is just waking up from his final nap. When I come home with him I go ahead and give him his bath and feed him and shortly after and he is already wanting to go back down to sleep which is around 7:30 pm. I put him down to sleep and then wake him up at about 9 pm for what is considered a "dream feed" so that he can go right back down to sleep for the night. He has been sleeping for about 6 hours straight and then I feed him and he goes right back down. So at least I can get a few more hours of sleep before I'll have to get up and go to work and get him ready. I am so not looking forward to getting up at 5:30 am on the days that both Sean and I will work but I have to do what I have to do. All in all his week at day care has been a success and I will miss snuggling with my little pumpkin in the mornings but at least I will have the weekends to do that!
Prior to this week was Hunter's first Christmas! He had a great time at G-Foxy's and of course he was spoiled by Santa and his family. We had a nice dinner and Hunter wasn't too fussy until it was time to leave. He had enough and needed a nap.....big time!
