In-home daycare

Maverick turned 10 months today and to show him what a big boy he is we sent him off to daycare for the first time! Jesse and I were so nervous to leave him. We both went to drop him off which is literally 30 yards directly in front of our house. I packed him a survival bag full of all his necessities: diapers, shoes, baby Tylenol, tons of bottles, change of clothes, you name it I had it. You never know anything could happen. The sitter looks at me and says "that's great, thanks for bringing all that" I'm sure she thought I was a extremely paranoid mommy. I set him down in the play room and zoom he took off for the toys just smiling away. I felt good knowing he was smiling as hard as it was to leave him. I told myself not to call ever thirty minutes, but I just had to check on him before I left to my morning class! Long story short within the first hour he had already taken a spill and busted his upper lip :( I wanted to run over and scoop him up never to leave his side again! She said he was fine, and not to worry! YEAH RIGHT! I fought the urge to go and get him knowing I couldn't miss my Anatomy class. I called many times to keep checking on him. I picked him up as soon as I could and saw his little red lip :( Now I truly know what heartbreak is!!! After talking to Jesse, my mom, and friends I've tried to convince myself that this could have happened at home even while I was watching him. Not being with him is one of the hardest things, but in the end I know I'm doing this for him! I'm praying things go well from here on out. No one can love him the way I do!!!

Our handsome little guy is 10 months old
