First day of school!

Up until this last month i have been lucky enough that Trey has not had to be in daycare because my loving sister, "Beezy", has been the dudes at home nanny.  We've had to make adjustments here and there to accomidate her schedule -- she went from 4 days to 3 and we've had both Trey's grandma's lend a hand on 1 day too.  But alas, all good things must end and my sister had to move on to a real person job.

I stressed and stressed and had some serious meltdowns about daycares. I wanted one with a preschool. With good funding. Not too pricey but not poverty either. I didn't want to be over crowded, i didn't want to have TV. I wanted good meal plans and structured classes. I wanted somewhere that had a routine and somewhere that was really advanced educationally. Oh the standards i had.

So after much deliberation i found a place that was funded by a college and the State. That was all the things i thought it needed to be. And best part?? It was very reasonably priced because it was through the local community college. "Trey will love it", i said. "he'll ajust like a dream", i said.

Boy was i naive. 

The first week was a nightmare. Day one was bad, but nothing compared to days 2 & 3 which were total spider monkey cling-on scream like a banshee meltdown days.  Followed by meltdown pick ups. Followed by awful mommy baby nights. By Friday i couldn't do it anymore and called one of the other places i had looked at. Luckily they would let Trey "try it out" for a day on Monday.

First day of school

And although we had a hard time on day one, his teacher (sweetest girl ever and the only person who could have made this transition for me as easy as it was) would tell me how he was doing. Now Trey is asking in the mornings to see his "teacha tayla" haha.

Boy oh boy the ups and downs of this child. He is doing much better but it was awful while we were getting used to it all. Mom cried about as much as the dude cried. Not the easiest mom moments for sure.

After the first day at the new school, while his dad was out of town, we had a yummer dessert.

Now, please take note that his hair is TOOOOO LONG!!  I was going for a beachy surfer dude hair style... unfortunately he is his fathers son and his hair grows straight forward no matter how much we swoop it. Because he's so blonde i wanted to keep a full head of hair... but nope... we ended up getting a haircut.

Handsome boy!!!
