"Socialization"

It's been awhile, hasn't it? Over a week! Well, it has been a busy week... and it's kind of difficult to talk about because...

On Tuesday, for the first time, Liam went to DAYCARE.

Mommy decided that she needed a couple hours a week to herself - to sit quietly, or concentrate on a project, or go shopping and eat ice cream. Liam understood this - he is a very understanding baby - and suggested he go to daycare one afternoon per week. He thought it would be a good place for him to make and play with friends, and he is right!

Faith Lutheran Church's preschool / child care is a really cute little daycare center, with naps and snacks and caregivers willing to cloth diaper. When Mommy dropped him off, Liam didn't even seem to notice she was gone; he went straight over to play with the toys.

But Mommy noticed. She cried all the way out the door and up the hill and into the car. She stopped weeping by the time she got to Steak'n Shake, where she drowned her sorrows in a mint shake. (Ok, she got some work done too - yay free WiFi!) And she even managed to stay away (almost) the whole 4 hours.

Meanwhile, Daddy was gone last week to California for three and half days.

And we got new windows, and almost a new door, and are planning Liam's first birthday party for this coming Saturday... .But those are stories for another night.
