Happy Little Man

Today was Leo's first day at Day Care. I've been a little sad about his starting day care. I had the wonderful opportunity to work from home two days a week during my first 3 months back at work. I'm so very fortunate to work for a company who was supportive of this kind of arrangement. It worked out really great for our family. My two days working from home have come to an end though. I will be working at home one day a week for the next three months which is great. We decided to put Leo in a day care two days a week to get him used to other kids and that type of atmosphere. Between my parents, Tom, the day care and me, Leo is getting a lot of variety for care during the week. :) Good thing he is so easy going!

He did a half day today to start. From what I understand, he did really well! He ate well, slept well and played well. That's our boy! :) We are really excited about this day care. I know it will be a very nurturing environment for our little man. The woman there is so wonderful and we are confident that she will take amazing care of our Leo.

I think Gloria was a proud big sister today when she helped daddy drop Leo off at school. I wondered what she would think about this new routine.

As far as Leo and his growth and development, he is doing really well. He is sitting up very well on his own now, he doesn't really need the boppy pillow but we keep it around just it case. :) He is officially scooting around in circles while he is playing on the floor. He is starting to express his frustration when he can't reach a toy or he gets upset when something has been taken away (usually by Gloria). He is eating more foods, doesn't like Peas!! Leo spends a lot of time blowing raspberries. He went from making lots of sounds and screeches to blowing lots and lots of raspberries! Cute but very messy when it comes time to eat. ;)

Here is our little man today before he was off to "school." :)
