Dum, Dum, DUMMMMMMM.... (daycare)

Yesterday was Roscoe's first day of daycare.  I was so excited about the place we found - it is exactly what we were looking for.  I mean, check out the daily schedule:

8:00-9:30 Breakfast Time (always with fruit and milk)
9:30-10:00 Free play
10:00-10:30 Circle Time (abc's, 123's, nursery rhyme's...)
10:30-11:00 Reading Time
11:00-11:30 Arts & Crafts (coloring, play-dough, chalk...)
11:30-12:00 Music Time (singing and dancing)
12:00-12:30 Lunch Time (healthy home cooked meals)
12:30-1:00 Free play
1:00-3:30 Nap Time (separate room)
4:00-4:30 Snack Time (fruits)
4:30-5:30 Outdoor play (weather permitting)

I am actually kind of jealous.  I wish Roscoe and I could just go there together and hang out.  Did I mention that they will speak to him in either English, Spanish or French, depending on our preference??  We visited for an hour last week and he loved it.  I loved it.  We found the place from a friend of a friend whose daughter goes there.  Perfect.

Too bad yesterday kind of sucked (I didn't know how much it sucked until the sucky spread into today).  He was crying when I left, which is one of the worst feelings ever.  He normally takes 2 one and a half hour naps.  He slept for 30 minutes in the morning and no minutes in the afternoon.  I arrived and his eyes were all squinty and red like he hadn't slept in 2 weeks.  He just waddled over to me like a baby zombie when I got there.  He was cranky when we got home.  I could barely get him to eat anything and then I got him to bed.  20 minutes later he woke up screaming.  I know this USED to be normal, but it's not anymore and I have NO interest in regressing, thank you very much.  I get him back to sleep and the rest of the night was uneventful.

Today he is mostly fine and normal and then out of nowhere pops this tired and crabby monster boy.  He is having a hard time napping (overtired) and I am having a hard time not drinking the bottle of wine I saw downstairs.  My whole body is tense, I have a headache and I still haven't eaten lunch (it's 4pm).  What crazy person decided this was a good idea?!  (me).  Let's hope this is just an Adjustment Period and he will start sleeping like a "baby" (haha) in the next couple of weeks.  Good news is he ate very well and had a giant poop.
