I always arrive early to pick him up from day care.
Usually I sit in the hall and listen for any interaction he may have with the group. (He doesn’t see me.)
Today, he saw me drive up and bolted out of his chair. The care aide was standing with him at the door when I got there.
Sweet yet sad. He really wants to be with me. I think he is adjusting to the program but the drop off is wicked:)

But it’s all so necessary. HUGS
Aw. He obviously misses you while you’re apart, and bolting…it’s sweet AND sad.
It rips your heart out I know, but you NEED it.
Did I miss the post on the day care schedule? Every day? Painful as it must be, it sounds like the adjustment is okay and it will help you stay the course. One can’t help but remember the parallels with dropping other family members at day care at the beginning of life. Parting is such sweet sorrow; I’m sorry this is so sad.
I’m sorry too, Jean, but you need the time away.
Hugs to you.
I’m glad that he is adjusting to the program, at least. Hopefully he will feel better about it as he gets more accustomed to going.
He just happened to see you…he would have been fine otherwise, don’t you think? The time for him there is enriching, and the time for you, alone, is invaluable.
You must have it in order to accomplish, and endure, all you do. Even love, gets tired.
I hope that his adjustment will be quick. I’m glad you are getting some time away for yourself.
Praying you are both adjusting…
Love you!

I understand the seeing you and bolting thing. If I went to “eat” lunch with my mother and the meal was already in progress, as soon as she saw me, she was rocking to go….I think she wanted to get away from all the loud activity of the dining room, and have me all to herself.
I have been missing your posts because I changed your link on my blog, but did not update my google reader. Glad to read again….
