The Day That Would Never End

Guess how long I spent at daycare today. So long...I don't have enough fingers to count the hours! My day started normally:

• 6 am: Standing up in my crib...looking toward the door...waiting for someone to come get me.
• 6:30: Breakfast.
• 7:00: Time to go to school. Say bye bye to mommy.
• 7:20: Arrive at school.
• 7:50: Daddy says bye and goes to work.

Things appeared normal. Took my afternoon nap...woke up at 3:00. Next thing I know, it's 5:50...where is everyone! Did you guys forget about me?! Finally, daddy shows up...then mommy shows up. Both of them? Then I smelled dinner. What the heck?!

Tonight was "Back to School Night." It was where the teachers get together and show the parents what a day in our lives is like at school. They get to see the different things we do, like:

• Tactile activities with different types of cloth, spaghetti, ice, play-doh, and other things
• Painting
• Story time

They even had little stations where the mommies and daddies got to do the same activities that we do. Mommy had fun painting. Ky - do you think mommy's painting looks like barf like mine did?

It was also a good opportunity for mommy and daddy to get to know Ms. Christine, one of my new teachers. She went to UC Davis - Daddy already likes her.

We finally left daycare at 7:45. I spent over 12 hours there! Crazy!

Mommy's passed out on the couch now. Now, she finally understands how tiring my day is!

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.

My last two Saturdays have been absolutely exhausting. After I wake up from my morning nap, we load up and make the trek out to Sutton Swim School. This place might look familiar because I've been there before...about three months ago. Back then, I was just a little baby and I kept falling asleep during my swim practice. Now, I'm a big boy! I wake up from my nap, have my bottle, and I'm energized and ready to train!

This is my second lesson and I'm loving it! I'm still the youngest one in my class, but I got some encouragement from one of the other mom's in the class. She said her son started when he was my age and he's now two and a half and just loves the water! Look out Michael Phelps! I'm coming after you!

It's About Freaking Time!

Finally...someone woke up to my screams of hunger and boredom! I've been waiting around for an hour! It's about time! I heard mumbling about me not getting the memo about daylight savings. Who the heck is daylight savings and why did he take my hour! What the h-e-double hockey sticks!

Where Is Everyone!

Okay people...it's time to wake up! My internal atomic clock says it's 6 am and that means it's time to wake up, get changed out of this wet, stinky diaper, and get some breakfast. Where the heck is everyone and how come no one's coming to get me!

Victim of the Economy

As you all know, I've spent the last few months in daycare while mommy and daddy are working. It was a pretty easy transition for me. My teachers, Ms. Katrina, Ms. Jessica, and Ms. Linda are awesome and take really good care of me. In fact, they're better at feeding me than mommy and daddy are! I eat more at daycare and don't fuss while eating my solids. I think it was harder on mommy and daddy.

Well...everything is about to change in a week. Because of the economy (and some other reasons - like kids graduating to the next grade), some of the kids I go to school with are going to be staying home (or going somewhere cheaper). That means they're consolidating all of us infants into two home bases. So what's that mean for me? I have to move to a new home base and get new teachers! Boooo! I really like my teachers (and so do mommy and daddy).

Now, I'm going to have to spend the next two months breaking in my new teachers and making sure they know what I like and when I like it. This is going to be such a pain! I think mommy and daddy are protesting...but you can't fight the system.
