John and his Cow ~ Park Slope, Brooklyn ~ August 27, 2010
Tomorrow is a big day for this Mommy, because it's Baby John's first day of daycare! Or "skool" as I like to call it. Let's hope they teach him lots of important things, like his A-B-Cs, 1, 2, 3s, and the difference between cocaine and gum. It could be a very costly mistake for him down the line. (Pun intended). Kidding! We're not letting him anywhere near gum.
Anyhow, even though John's not going to be in skool for the entire day on his first day, I'm warning you and everyone right now: I'm going to cry. I think. If I don't cry, then okay, fine, but if I do cry, you can't say I didn't warn you. I don't think John will get upset; he likes new people and new experiences for the most part, and he seems to roll with the punches. JD says that he didn't cry when his Mom dropped him off on his first day of school; he cried when she picked him up! Similarly, I think John will embrace it and be completely fine without us for a few hours.
On the other hand, how well I'll be holding up is another story. Do they have daycare providers for mothers who can't handle being away from their babies? Yes, and they're called psychiatrists. OMG am I tearing up already? I need to get it together!

"COW ON YOUR HEAD!"
I'm tearing up just thinking of his 1st day, & I only see him every 2 weeks! But you'll be fine Mommy A, just fine.
(& whattya bet Doodle doesn't cry once everyone's out of the house..?)
That picture is making me tear up. What a cutie.
I'm sure as time goes by it will get easier.
Chin up!
Doodle might lock the door after everyone leaves and barricade it so no one can get back in. She needs some peace and quiet, already. Sheesh.
He's going to be great! You should get drunk... how useful are you REALLY going to be at work anyway?! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
He's certainly a sharp dressed man in those madras pants - all the ladies at skool will swoon! I like the path he's on already :)
Hugs to you, too!
I do seem to remember a lot of kicking and screaming and crying on the first day of school ... my wife of course!
But she's a lightweight. During the birth of our child, I remember her screaming "Get this phuking thing out of me!" ... Oh, no, wait .... that was during conception!
DUDE!! He is so freakin' cute I can't stand it!! We call it "FUNSCHOOL" Aidan has been going since he was 10 months old. Where is he going yo?!
