We survived the week! While I'm sure there was never a doubt in your mind, your mommy wasn't quite as certain. Day one of day care was rough on mommy, but you seemed to be just fine. Your naps were short and sporadic, which is no real surprise given they are short and sporadic at home. You were worn out the first few days...mommy was so sad that we didn't get to spend more time together because you were asleep by 6:30. (Although you tried to make up for it by waking multiple times during the night!) By the end of the week, you were taking longer naps and you were awake more in the evenings. Let me tell you: I've never been more excited for a Friday knowing that we could spend all weekend together.
This week at school you also made your first artwork, which mommy and daddy have proudly displayed on the refrigerator. It makes me smile every time I pass by and I think we'll soon have to buy more magnets to display everything you will be making at school.
Friday evening we went to your first fall festival at school. You were dressed up as the cutest puppy dog that the earth has ever seen, and you received many compliments throughout the night. You weren't quite sure what to make out of all of the lights, sounds, costumes and people: you just looked around all night long studying your surroundings. Your teachers told us what a good baby you are at school and that you're one of the most content newborns they've had. We, of course, beamed with pride.
Although you're a bit young to be concerned with bald spots, let me tell you: yours is growing on a daily basis. The area on the back of your head where you sleep has little hair left. We were doing the comb-over trick for awhile, but I'm afraid it can't be hidden now. Your daddy and I are curious as to what color your hair will grow back as. Your eyes continue to be blue, although they are darkening a bit. We think they might turn brown, but we are enjoying the beautiful sea color they are right now.
Toward the end of the week, we decided to finally give up on swaddling, as you found a way to break out of every type of swaddling we had. We bought your first sleep sack and went cold turkey one night. As you fell sleep that night, you had your arms stretched out like a "T". I think you were surprised to learn your arms could actually go that way. We had a bit of a rough night that first night, but each night you're getting more used to the fact that you have arms that can actually move.
Love,
Mommy
