Sweet Sorrow

On Tuesday, Ian will be walking into daycare but going one door further down the hall, to the “newbie” classroom. We got a card today from the people who have cared for him in the infant room:

“Ian and Family,
We wiggled and giggled, sighed and cried, held and smelled, got wild and smiled, and best of all shared love with your child! Thank you for sharing Ian with us!”

And from each individual caregiver:

“Ian: Love to you – I will hunt you down and get hugs! – Mary”
“Loved his soft head and will watch his hair grow – Mr. Kevin”
“It won’t be the same without my little man 🙁 You have my number anytime you need me! Love and blessings, Miss Emily”
“We will all miss Ian! We’ll watch him grow through the window 🙂 Miss Amanda”

Ian’s also through most of his teething at the moment. He was in a great mood this afternoon… we gave him a half an apple just to see what he’d do with it, and he poked a lot of little tooth-holes in it.
