New Beginnings

Today, Grayson had his first day at his new school. Michael and I dropped him off together to get him settled in and so many little things added up to make us feel welcomed.

For example, they already had his crib and cubby labeled with cute bear cut outs and fun letters, and the director and teachers knew all our names. Above Grayson's designated crib was a green animal mobile. We laid him down and turned it on which resulted in immediate leg kicking and "talking."

The walls of the hallways and nursery are painted in jungle-like murals, and Grayson loved taking it all in.

I called to check in about 1:30 and he was being fed (right on schedule) and had several great naps which told me he's feeling comfortable there (or was exhausted after last night which is an entirely separate post for later in the week).

When we picked him up this evening, we got a full report from his teacher which was detailed and informative. I checked in his cubby to take home any dirty bibs or bottles, but they already had everything washed and ready for the next day. Ahh, such mommy bliss. Who knew I would ever be so excited to not have to come home and wash bottles?

Fingers crossed that the rest of the week goes so well.

Wow, that post makes me so happy. I'm glad you and Mike feel so comfortable there and that the staff is so attentive and thoughtful. Will you be able to sneak in any visits? :)
