I never, ever thought I would be so emotional to see Riley go off to start daycare. It was a huge mental shift to go from spending all day every day with my little man to getting my head around him spending all day with other people. But of course I have to work and so the day was inevitable really. I had a long time to prepare mentally but it didnt make it any easier when the day actually arrived. He started when he was exactly 11 months old on 14 April. He is lucky enough to be going to a daycare centre run by his Nanna Jann so he seemed really happy when she met him at the door on his first day. He loved it and seemed very happy to walk around (yes walking coincided with starting daycare) and play with all the toys and other children. I was a mess and cried for most of the morning! But we're now coming into our fourth week and have both adapted well to the new routine. And I am lucky enough to be able to drop him off and pick him up myself so we still gets lots of quality time together. Here is a pic of us on his first morning - check out his cute school bag!
