Stream of Consciousness: Emotions – week 49 #SOC #blogging #freewriting

We finished out in-home daycare yesterday. My boy had been attending this daycare just three houses from our house since January 2012. I remember meeting the lady who runs the daycare by accident. We had received a piece of her mail, and she’d come by the house. My husband talked to her and had mentioned we were looking for daycares. I never anticipated staying there for so long!

I think our son is finally realizing that this week was it. We wanted to prepare him for the change. I need to see if we can take him by the preschool next week (he’ll start the new place in just over a week.) I know he’ll thrive in this new preschool, but it’s still a little scary for a young child.

Our boy has been super emotional today. Crying over a lot of little things, and when we met up with friends for a play date, it didn’t get much better. He’s just very sensitive, and I know he senses the change.

I ran a half marathon this morning and the rest of our weekend is somewhat calm. I don’t think we have any other plans, other than hanging out in the house and yard. It’s going to be a good rest of the weekend (it’s already been a pretty fun start to the weekend.) Hopefully we can all get the rest we really need.
