Back to the Basics

Today was Troy’s first day back to daycare. We really weren’t ready for him to go back, but the new daycare is semester-based, so it’s either start now or wait a year. But we think the extra human contact and change of atmosphere will do him some good. He’s been bored at home, and we’ve been unable to properly entertain him. I’m not looking forward to him getting sick constantly again though. The inevitable germs and bacteria that run rampant in a gaggle of toddlers. But I guess I can't avoid it.

After he and my wife left this morning, I made it a whopping five minutes before I broke down in tears. I already missed him being in my space. I also didn’t know what to do with my day, because my whole routine had revolved around him. This is harder than when we had to take him to daycare for the first time. I’m a wreck.
