Tuesday....almost this weeks Wednesday since we have Friday off (thank goodness!). "How did our first day of full daycare go?" is probably the first question to pop into your heads....well let me tell you. Daphne is not a full day of daycare kind of girl....well, at least not yet. The actual day at daycare went well. I went to nurse her at lunch and she was happy as can be, smiling and laughing away. They gave me a rocking chair in the toddler sleeping area (kind of darker and closed off) so that was nice. Peanut, however, is not yet use to the idea of me feeding her at daycare. She was much more interested in the sights (lights, kids running here and there) and sounds (crying, squealing, 8 different songs playing at once) and couldn't seem to focus on the eating. That's alright though, I kind of expected it to take some time for her to understand that that is her one chance to eat for the day (other then her arch nemesis, the bottle). None the less, I left her happily on her back on the play mat with some blocks to look at. We picked her up at 4:15 to find out she had napped a total of 35 minutes....and I say total because it was 2 naps, 10 min & 25 min. Hmmm, that didn't sound like it was going to be a good night but she was in good spirits so maybe she would pull through. We got in the car and that was when Peanut decided to let me know exactly how much she didn't like being there all day. Instead of her usual baby talk all the way home I got a stage 10 meltdown (and of course all the red stop lights possible). We made it home and she calmed down but the rest of the night wasn't much better. Actually I shouldn't say night really since we were getting ready for bed around 6:15, so about 1 1/2 after we got home, still plenty light out. She had a series of other breakdowns before crashing at around 7:45 with me next to her hoping to get some sleep. She woke up every 2 hours to eat due to the fact that she only ate 5 oz all day at daycare (should probably be around 10-15oz) so she had some major making up to do. At about 3:30am I couldn't fall back asleep so I just laid there for awhile getting really excited for today (*wink, wink*). Hopefully today she will nap a bit more and eat as well, fingers crossed! Thanks for all your thoughts yesterday, maybe today you can send some sleepiness Peanuts way or maybe what she really needs is a bit less stubbornness...
