A Sleepy First Day

Kahlil had his first day at the creche yesterday. We got there a little later than I planned (I'll explain later). But he was there in time for their morning snack. So I dropped him in a chair, buckled him in, and gave him a piece of toast. He was happy as could be and didn't even look up when I told him goodbye.

So I wondered around Grafton Street and went into the stores I didn't feel comfortable going with the stroller. I felt very light and fast. Unfortunately I was a little tired.

It was time to go pick up Kahlil at two. I walked in and he saw me. He smiled and started to come to me, but at the last second he made a quick left and passed me by. Oh, burn! Michelle, the day-care person, said he had a great day. Not a sad peep out of him. He had fun with the other kids and was a dream. But he didn't nap because he was having so much fun playing. Hum. So I got up to go get the stroller out of the hall closet so we could be on our way. Apparently he was much happier to see me than he let on. He was sobbing when I came back in the room. Very sad I had left. After a big hug and getting bundled up, we were on our way. He fell asleep within a block of the creche.

Once home, Kahlil and I both napped for a good two hours. We were both pretty worn out after the night we had. I'm not exactly sure, but I think Kahlil was having some stomach problems. The night before Jay cooked dinner - a yummy Mexican chicken soup that had a little spice to it. Kahlil seemed to enjoy it at the time. But at about midnight he woke up and was in apparent discomfort. He would thrash about for a while, let lose a big fart and seem to feel better. Then a few minutes later he was thrashing and crying again. After an hour and a half of this, I decided to try some toast. He had a few bites and that seemed to help a little. He still thrashed for another hour or so, but the crying stopped. He finally fell asleep around three.

So he and I were both a little tuckered out for his first day at the creche. But tomorrow is his second day. I'm sure he will have another great day. And I plan to take advantage of a few hours off.

Our shipment is suppose to be here on Friday. Jay guilted the shipping people by telling them if they don't deliver this week, they will have ruined the Christmas of a little boy.
