After his first week in daycare...*UPDATED ON BOTTOM*

today was the first day that my son did not cry the whole day! When I left him he was a little weepy, but the teacher just told me that he stopped crying very shortly after and has not cried since...Chat Icon He is sleeping longer every single day and has eaten a lot more today! He is so happy when we pick him up, he starts to jump around and dance and showing us his toys there so I think he likes it there...I want my little monkey to be happy there! Its a nice place with very nice care providers and nice kids and I want him to enjoy and thrive there! Although I feel EXTREMELY guilty for sending him to daycare, I really hope and pray that it will benefit him in the long run.

Thank you for letting me share!Chat Icon

**UPDATE**

So when my husband picked DS up today, the teacher advised him that he was bitChat Icon He said the two rows of teeth mark were still visible on his skin...Chat Icon I don't know what to think anymore, as if this isn't hard enough already. I understand that these things happen but this is his first week!!!!! What do I do?

That's great! It should keep getting better. DS is only 4 months and in daycare. I hate it, but have to work. The first week I cried. He really didn't know any better. He's been there for a month now and the teachers said there's a huge difference. He was so quiet the first week and now he really knows his teachers. Gives them a big smile when I drop him off in the mornings.

AwwwwwChat Icon I swear this is soooo heartbreaking! I hope they adjust quickly...DS has been going FT all week and he understands that I am leaving him there but that he will also get picked up. He was just so scared...I felt that he was feeling very aloneChat Icon He got attached to a couple of teachers though and I think that has been helping him tremendously. They are very warm and loving and told me that he obviously loves a lot of affection bc that would calm him down. I hope next week will be even better...and I hope that Luca adjusts quickly as well! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETA: Is it possible for your husband to bring him there for at least a couple of hours during the day? I think it'll be hard for him to go back again after being with you guys for 5 days straight...

well we are both off on Monday and won't be in town but i'll ask him to do that on Tuesday. i think it's a good idea. it's just hard because the day care is 1/2 hour away.

And sorry to hijack, but, LB I agree that maybe DH should bring Luca for a bit on Tuesday, even if he just wants to do some errands. Christopher was a wreck after long weekendsChat Icon
