Today was T's first day at Bright Horizons day care. I was so worried he would feel abandoned, but he seemed really happy when The Scoot and I visited at lunch so I could nurse him and when we picked him up at the end of the day. The teachers said he was great.
When we dropped by at lunch he gave us a big smile and was super chatty and playful. He seemed to like his teachers (Tiffany and Becky), all the exciting new toys, and the other little people in his group. It was such a relief to get through the day successfully.
We've just started letting T experiment with solids - not every day, but when we can. Last weekend I piled some big apple wedges and soda bread on my plate with my sandwich while I held Torin to see if he would take some. He grabbed an apple wedge and munched on it for quite a while before dropping it. He tried to pick up another one, but they were sliding on the plate and he had an instantaneous melt down, so I held one so he could take it from my hand. A couple of nights ago he had steamed broccoli (I found tiny bits in his diaper the next day), roasted potato, and some chicken. So far he's "chewed" on everything he's been offered for quite a while. He doesn't have any teeth yet, but he doesn't seem to notice.
T has also been reaching for my water glass, so I've offered him a little. Today he held the cup while I helped him take a few sips. He definitely wants to do what the big people are doing.
