Better today

Today was our third try at nursery school (he only goes 3 times a week). I was dreading today all day yesterday, but it turned out okay.

I dropped him off around 10 and I did not get nauseous but I listened to him cry "mama, mama" after I left. But the teacher began reading a fire truck book to him, so that distracted him enough for me to feel it was okay to leave. I went to the gym, I went to the doctor to get his shot record, I went grocery shopping, and then I came back for him (about 2 hours later). They were all eating lunch. He was sitting next to his teacher and he seemed happy. He saw me come in and said "Mama!" with a HUGE smile. He got out of his chair and came over to hug me. The teacher said he did much better today.

Henry and I spent the rest of the day alone, just us. We danced, giggled, played with toys, and took a nap together. I rolled over and passed out and when I woke up he was all pressed up against me. When he woke up he kissed me and said "mama" with this adorable grin. I felt so relieved to have him back with me, especially after my trip to Central Market this morning. All these mom's had their kids with them and I felt like I was missing my arm or something. Like I wasn't really a mom like them anymore:-(
