adventures in daycare: day two through four

After a successful first day at daycare, I was feeling a bit more encouraged and optimistic about jumping into the rest of the week.  Nate woke up early, of course, which actually gave us some time to spend together before I had to drop him off each day. Unlike day one, Nate cried and I didn't when I dropped him off. He seems happy when he comes home and I know he has a great time playing with the kids.

Because I am a big proponent of the pro/cons list, here goes my week one reflections:

Things that I like:

• Nate playing with other kids 
• Learning new things, especially from the other children. One case in which peer pressure is a good thing! From eating at a table to nap time on a cot, Nate is taking in a lot of new habits
• A consistent schedule
• A minimal number of inspection violations. Oh yeah, this is addicting to look at!

Things that I don't:

• The perpetual daycare runny nose. Nate already has one after only a week.
• I wish this center had live feed cameras. No, this isn't a crazy person wishlist item. I've talked with some parents with children in other centers that have them.
• I would like more notes about what he does during the day. Granted, they are pretty comprehensive, but he is my baby and I want to know every last detail (again, not feasible)
