Alexis handled her first day at day care fairly well. I had a hard time leaving when I dropped her off but tried to be quick about it. I think it helped knowing I'd be back in just a couple hours.Every day I take my break from work to feed her around 11:15. She ate well and got even with me at the same time: She dirtied her outfit and the white pants I wore that day as I was feeding her. Nice! She had another blowout later... managing to use up both of her "back up" outfits I brought to keep at day care.
I returned to work to a wonderful surprise. Mom and Dad sent me flowers to wish me a good day back to work. They were beautiful and really brightened my day.
It turns out Alexis slept most of the day, which my friend said her baby did too in "coping" with the change. I was just a bit worried she'd spend the day fussing like she did for me the week before.
All in all, I think the day was hardest on Honda. I think she had forgotten what it was like to be locked up in her dog crate all day and didn't leave my side when I got home. She even insisted on sitting in my lap.
