Well I did it! I successfully abandoned my child to a complete stranger for a full hour and a half today.
We dropped Newt off around 9:00 this morning and met his other teacher, Ms. Mary, who I liked a lot. Because of the holidays, he was the only baby there today, so I felt really good that he was going to get lots of one-on-one attention.
Anyway, Kyle and I went to breakfast at Magnolia Pancake Haus (yum!) and I did not cry the entire time. I can't even remember the last time we ate a meal with just the two of us, and it felt a little strange not having to bounce a crying baby or pop a binky back in his mouth every five minutes!
When we picked him up his teacher was holding him and rocking him, which was nice to see so that I know he's not just going to be sitting in a bouncy all day. He had eaten his entire bottle and was already on his first change of clothes. All in all, I feel really good about it. I am glad that we had this trial run today because now I think that I will be much more comfortable leaving him on Monday.
Now I just have to accept the fact that I have to go back to work...ugh.
