Day Three...Hungry Little Monkey

I'm beginning to wonder if they really feed him at this place or not? Today after him I picked him up, he ate dinner twice and had a snack before bedtime! He does come home everyday with a chart of what he ate: no breakfast, some of his lunch (chicken patty, yellow rice, and pineapple chunks), and all of his afternoon snack (animal crackers and apple juice). Somehow though, he has still come home starving and thirsty all three days so far. Maybe the problem here is that I was just feeding him too much before, but if he's going to be a football player, we have to make him big! Maybe I should make "the academy" aware of my athletic plans for Noah so they will feed him more!

I didn't have to go through the trauma of dropping him off this morning, I let my husband have that honor today! From what I hear, it didn't go much better than yesterday. He's still not so happy that we're abandoning him with strangers every morning, this should scar him for life! I know that everyone says he will never remember, but I can tell you first hand that that's a bunch of bull! I remember like it was yesterday when my mom would drop me off at daycare.....I screamed, clung onto her legs, and then when she would finally break loose from me, I would hide under a chair for an hour! SCARED FOR LIFE!

I was one of the last parent's to pick up my child today, so all of the age groups were in a room playing together. Once again, all of the children were playing so nice, and Noah was being held by the teacher while he pointed at things around the room, such a social butterfly! They were quick to pass him off to me so that they could continue to pick up after a long day so there was very little dialog about his day from his teacher. I did however receive the official report:

Mood: okay.....(I can't wait till this changes to happy!)
1 dry diaper
3 wet diapers
no poopy diapers......(he's got to go sooner or later)
and a short and simple paragraph that read: we made apple prints today (dunked apple halves into paint and stamped them onto paper)

I'm sending him to day four with a backpack full of snacks and juice!
