Today Ethan is spending most of the day (including nap time - cross fingers!) with M, our daycare "lady". The longest he's spent with her and her family is about 2 hours, and he's done wonderfully. I'm a little apprehensive about today, but I'm also confident that Marilyn has many tricks up her sleve and that she's a very competant mum to both her children and to mine when I'm not there. Packing his lunch today, I have included a note as to what the food is for his lunch (of course much of it is unrecognizable) in case he gets an allergy or what have you) and I wish he was old enough so that I can write "I miss you and love you, Doodie! Be back very soon!" to Ethan but of course I can't. Boo. Not sure how to spend my "free time" today - I'd love to just sleep and read, but my house is a mess, laundry needs doing, and a grocery shop. So instead I'll be doing that. And trying to aleve the knots in my tummy when my boy is away from me. *sigh*
