today was jack's first day at daycare.
yes, gentle reader, you got that right ... day care.
roxana called today sounding like death warmed over and so mommy and daddy had to either miss work or scramble. we chose to scramble.
mommy's oh-so-benevolent employer provides access to back-up child care for a nominal fee. mommy had not yet pre-registered for this benefit, so a good deal of the morning was spent getting the proper forms with all the t's dotted and i's crossed.
after a trip to the doctor's office for the requisite paperwork and fighting our way downtown in traffic, jack and i arrived at the bright, cheery day care center. one of us was fed up with traffic. one of us was asleep. here's a hint on who's who:
the facility is only for back-up care, so it's not like jack was the total outsider. he was, however, the youngest kid in the "toddlers" class. mommy was nervous, but jack took to it like a fish to water.
he didn't even pay attention when mommy was waving "bye!" he was too busy climbing on the inside stairs/slide toy.
we're hoping the whole day passes well, until daddy is able to fetch him this evening. but either way, jack will have braved day care. and day care will have braved jack.
