So, today was Lee's first full half-day at the dayhome. I was, of course, worried about how he would be - would he miss me? would he cry? would she have to call me to come get him? My fears were instantly allayed when he walked right in, found his favorite toy, and I immediately ceased to exist. Nice. So I said "goodbye" (I was ignored by Lee, but the dayhome provider's son said "goodbye" to me, at least), and left. Made my way to therapy (I won't scare you with a glimpse into one of those sessions yet), and then high-tailed it back to pick up Bee from school. He had another great day, which made me smile. He walks out singing "If You're Happy and You Know It" - this is the same kid who, last year, cried for the first TWO MONTHS every.single.day when I picked him up AND dropped him off. What a difference a year makes! Then we had a little break before we headed to speech therapy - he had a great session with his therapist, but he's still obsessing over flushing the toilets when he leaves (that's a whole other entry, as well), so we had some tears as we left. I think he was just a bit tired - on Mondays, he has an almost 3 hour break between school and therapy, and I think it's a too late for him, but it can't be helped at this point. I'm hoping that as we get more into our routine (this was only his 2nd Monday since school started), it won't be a big deal. Then we Blue-skidooed over to pick Lee up from the dayhome - he had a great day! Took a nap! Ate meals! Drank water! Played! Made a picture frame! Didn't miss me AT ALL! It's so nice to find a dayhome that your kid is happy to go to. We headed home, relaxed for a bit, and yes - I made dinner.
