Louie's first day of daycare.

[Regina Philange]

He cried, then i cried all the way to work. I am really sad.

Also, they have scheduled diaper changes? I am hoping if he poops they will change him before the next scheduled change.  But they do have a back to school night. How cute.

Awwwww! I bet he's already stopped crying - it'll take time to adjust but he'll LOVE it!

Yes, they will change him! We had scheduled changes too but poops are always a 'change immediately' kind of thing. Dont worry!

Same for my daughter's daycare. Poops are changes off schedule.

[Regina Philange]

Oh ok, phew!

[sunshineluv]

Big HUGS!! It is hard, but he will have so much fun watching all the kids and playing too. Our place has sceduled diaper changes too, but a poop gets changed right away.

[kdrake8]

Big hugs. He will be ok! I bet he is already happy and playing!

[joyhart02]

Aww, he will love it.

This was actually on my list of questions for the daycare center.

[jfh]

I'm so sorry. It's sooooo hard when they get upset. But it's very likely that at the end of the day, they'll tell you he cheered up quickly and had a fun day. And if not today, then soon. He has your genes so he's probably pretty social, right? He'll make little buddies quickly and before you know it he'll be so excited to see them every morning! It's hard but it will get easier. Hugs to you.

[teamhayes]

He is going to love all his new friends and all the fun stuff he is going to learn!

[skiesthelimit]

Ah mama! I feel for ya. Lou will be ok! I'm sure he's having a blast playing with all his new buddies right now. The first couple weeks are the hardest but it gets better! Sending you lots of hugs!

Our dc does have a schedule for diaper changes but if one of the kids poops she will change them right away.

[raynes]

Big hugs! I'm sure he's having lots of fun playing already. He'll make some best buds and then will be alllll smiles when you pick him up. I think that's my favourite part.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry! It does get easier. And soon he will love going and playing! When A gets dropped off, she goes and sits at the little table with all the other kids, and it is so neat to see them acting like such big kids! And then the smiles when you pick them up are so wonderful!

[thedahliharpa]

Hugs mama! I know it's hard but it will get easier for him and that will make it easier for you.

[breezy8407]

((hugs!))

We are still going through our transition back. It's hard!

I had tears a few times last week, and we did this once already last year

[rubber pants]

awwwwwwww. it will be rough for a while but he will LOVE a few weeks from now, I promise!

I was so confused by DD's daily daycare sheets when she first went into the toddler room beucase it seemed like she pooped at 8am and 12:30pm every single day on the dot... then I realized they were scheduled changings unless they smell a dirty diaper.

[katie]

Aww hugs! It will get better. And our daycare changes every 2 hours on a schedule but poops are an immediate change. Call and check in to see how he is doing I did the first week.

[Regina Philange]

Thanks guys.

[bebeetmoi]

Awww mama I'm sorry that must have been tough, but I'm SURE he's doing great there! Can you call around lunch for an update maybe?

[creamsiclechica]

Oh, J, it's okay to be sad, the first day is hard! But once the two of you adjust, it'll be so good. For both if you! Sending lots of hugs and love today, sweet little Louie is going to end up being everyone's sweetheart at his center, I know it.

I was a mess on Jack's first day. I sobbed so hard in the car that my chest hurt. He cried at drop off for the first 4 or 5 weeks but he was also part time (only 2 days a week, which makes it a little harder). However, every day he got better and they told me he never cried more than a few minutes. It got to the point where I would stand in the hall and wait until he was ok and 3 weeks in he would have stopped before I could finish putting my shoes on. Hang in there, you will both adjust. DH and I picked him up on Friday and he was running away from us! He wanted to stay and play.

Can you call and check in? I did the first three days of Henry being in daycare, the teachers were super nice about it.

Yeah, Louie is only two days a week right now as well.

[carawestt]

Aw I'm sorry drop off was tough. I bet he's having fun now!

[kkfeb04]

Yep, scheduled changes except for poop. It is so much easier to change all the kids at the same time as I do it with the two K's. Then I'm not worrying someone missed a change. Even if Kalvin didn't need it, he got changed. I used to be upset and the wasted diapers since he was dry most of the day until Katelyn came along and I realized it is easy to forget. I actually schedule them at home too, poop is an auto change.

[kkfeb04]

Oh and I call and check on both of them at least twice a week....they are there 3 days a week. I don't care if I'm that mom. Maybe because I just dial the extension and not an outside number.

[Regina Philange]

I just called, and they said he is doing great.

[helicase]

That's great to hear that he's doing well. I really think it's harder on the parents than it is on the kiddos.

[spaghetticat]

So, @jack02, how was he at pickup? I'm sorry it was hard on both of you. I hope he had a great day!

[Deleted]

Regina Philange, I wanna hear how he did!!! Was he so excited to see you when you picked him up??
