Aiden's First Day of School

I was dreading Monday because I knew I would have to go back to work and leave Aiden for the majority of the day with strangers. My maternity leave went by so fast and I just didn't have enough time with my sweet boy. Monday came despite my protest. The night before, Aiden decided he wanted to stay up until after 11:00 pm. I think he knew what the morning would bring. So needless to say, I didn't get enough sleep. He woke up Monday morning at 5:30 am. It was perfect because I had enough time to get myself ready and feed him. Shawn and I both went to the daycare to drop him off. It was such a quick process. I wanted to linger and cuddle him, but that didn't happen. I cried on the way out the door and each time I started talking about dropping him off. It was a lot harder for me than it was for him. The teachers said he was a great baby and didn't cry. Each day has gotten easier and I'm sure in no time it'll be just our regular routine. I still miss being with him during the day. I can't wait for the weekend!!
