吃一欠长一智
周末去人家玩儿. 有个大一个月的小哥哥很agressive, 看皙皙玩儿的玩具, 他都要感一下兴趣.
接连迅疾地抢走了皙皙拿在手里正玩儿的两,三件玩具.
皙皙老实孩子来着, 木木地被抢了就抢了, 都不知道抱怨.
心理大概却记下了, 暗暗较着劲.
待那孩子再要抢皙皙手里的另一个玩具, 憨厚的皙皙攥得死死的, 跟他对抢, 那孩子终于竞抢不过, 闷闷被他妈妈劝退了事.
也有的智, 长得让妈心酸.
还是去人家玩儿的时候, 一直都玩得好好的, 换了好几个场地, 20多号人的大场面, 皙皙都泰然.
后来领去一个玩具琳琅满目的宝宝活动室, 小人儿忽然局促起来, 要哭, 要妈妈抱. 敏感的妈妈明白了. 这个, 是上daycare的后遗症. 以为越好玩儿的地方, 尤其是这么多宝宝玩具的地方, 那有可能妈妈要把他一个人留下自己上班去了. 小可怜儿啊.

Second week
It was said that the first day of the second week could be tough again. But Ciro was all right. It took him a little longer to feel comfortable with the environment and leave my arms to the room, though.
He is quite a cautious baby, taking small steps only to enter the new environment. As I mentioned, he only stayed in the play room for the first week, but now is OK entering the kitchen and the infant room. He can have all his snacks and meals in a high chair in the kitchen with other kids, enjoying the soups Miss Moreno cooked. He successfully had one nap in his crib in the infant room--only once so far though. We'll see how he gets over this part of the transition--napping is the most difficult one.
He did cry upon drop-off today, though, because Jada didn't pay attention when she walked by us and accidentally pushed Ciro to the ground. Poor baby bursted into tears right away and had to spend a couple of more minutes in mom's arms. Hope he can learn to live with other active kids soon.
Wish my baby all the best today. :-)

Forgetting Mommy
It's the third day already!
At drop-off, Ciro didn't cry again. Although hesitating, he finally moved toward the center of the room and left Mommy at the door. Mommy waved good-bye to him without getting any feedback. :-P
His second day was better than first day in terms of crying. His cry time was much less than 20 minutes according to Miss Moreno. He only cried when being lead to other rooms, which he didn't like (i.e., the working room where other kids play with the computer). He ate more than the 1st day but slept less, though. He ate two yogurts for morning and afternoon snacks and had some soup and rice for lunch. So when we got home, he wasn't into any cookie that I tried to offer him. And he didn't have good appetite for dinner as usual (although I managed to feed him 1.5 small bowl of millet congee, 10 small shrimps, and 1/3 of a bell pepper). He only had a 45 minute nap during the day so he fell asleep in the car on our way home.
Some interesting things: he didn't want to go home already when I picked him up on the second day! Miss Moreno's got too many toys. :-) And he seemed to be marking his territory already. Like I said there're a couple of spots in the play room that he liked the most. He expanded those spots to a few others on the second day. It seemed that he has accepted Miss Moreno and Hazel into his circle: when they approach him in his favorite place, he was OK. But when the other kids (Nicky or Brandon) tried to get close to him, he pushes them away. A lonely but powerful leo? haha.
One other thing is that he had been following me wherever I go for a while. Even if I have to go to the bathroom, he needs to be there! :-( But this seems to have changed now. I just tell him where I am and he will keep doing his things and not bother with following me any more. Should I feel happy or a little bit disappointed? hehe

Second day miracle?
So today is the second day.
It is -10 degrees celsius and feels like -19 degrees with windchill, according to weather.com.
Poor little baby had to come out and go to day care. :-(( He was all silent in the car, trying to recover from the coldness. I explained to him a few times on our way that mom has to go to work while he plays at Miss Moreno's. I repeated again and again that there are many many great toys at Miss Moreno's and the little friends all are waiting for him, who are, Nicolas, Brandon, and Ja'shawn (Jada, the only girl at this day care, is having a fever and stays at home these days). He seemed to be listening seriously with an adult-like frawn on his face.
He actually smiled when we finally arrived and got off the car. A little uncomfortable at the beginning after we got in the room, he remembered his favorite spot in front of the car rack in a short while and went directly there to play. I then said good-bye to him and explained once again that mom has to go to work but will come and pick him up right after work. I don't know how much he understood, but he didn't cry!!!!!!! And I waved good-bye and left. When I peeked through the window, he was actually looking at me through the window, too. And he didn't cry, either!!!!!!!!
Oh my good boy. Isn't he the most brave boy in the world?
And I am knocking on wood like crazy while I am typing this up, hoping that this second day miracle is for real and hope he can have a better day and at least cry less than yesterday.

Ciro's First Day at Miss Moreno's
Ciro actually did very well yesterday.
When I entered the door at around 3:30pm, he was sitting on Miss Hazel's lap and playing with a toy car. He turned his head seeing me when I called his name. A little bit swollen and red were his eyes. The moment he saw me, he started to make the face of crying. I thought he was gonna burst out, but no! He stopped right there and didn't even make a sound. He then almost ignored my existence and continued playing. Was he hurt so badly? I couldn't help wondering.
But what followed indicated that he was not too bad at all. He played with the various toys and even showed me how he learned new tricks to open some jar lids on a toy. He also did his funny "eye" trick when I asked about the little toy car's eyes and his own.
Miss hazel told me that he cried when I left but stopped when they turned on the celing fan in the infant room. He then cried occasionally here and there. And they eventually found out that there were two spots in the big play room which Ciro likes. He would not cry around those two spots (one next to a rack of toy cars and another next to boxes of blocks) but would start weeping whenever taken away. He especially hated the kitchen. So they ended up feeding him in the play room also. He had a yogurt at 11am and some rice at lunch.
At nap time he was taken to the infant room. But he cried as soon as he was put down in his small crib. Miss Mareno had to hold him in front of his favorite spot in the play room (the one next to the blocks) until he finally fell asleep around 1pm. Transferred into the crib, he was waken up by the lights at 3pm with the other older kids. The moment he saw Miss Moreno entering the room, tears came out again. The cry stoppend after Miss Moreno changed him and gave him a fresh wipe and some lotion. Oh, he poo-pooed after his nap, too. :-)
He then had a little apple sauce for his afternoon snack and some cheerios (his familiar Quan1 Quan1) and had been staying in front of the 2nd favorite spot in the playroom (next to the rack of toy cars) ever since. And that was where I saw him when I went to pick him up.
He even waved bye-bye to the teachers when we left!
I sang all the way home to him and he enjoyed going home so much as expeceted. His rest of the day was cheerful. He was making all kinds of noises with a joyful tone until he had his regular 8:30pm night sleep. His appetite was not bad, either. Thinking that he didn't eat much at Miss Moreno's, I gave him a yogurt upon arriving hom. He was more than cooperative. Guessing that he might still be hungry, I offered him a chocolate cookie (Oops, should I?) and crackers afterwards, and he liked them both! He even asked more when he finished his bites. :-)) the 6:30pm dinner was OK if not perfect. He resisted as usually in the beginning but there were a couple of episodes that went quite smooth.
So there we go. Ciro had his first-day day care experience. He should earn big applause.

Set to fly
It is Ciro's first official day at a family day care.
Dad and mom accompanied him to get familiar with the environment last Friday and then Mom stayed with him for another morning on Monday. I wished to stay with him longer so that he wound't feel left alone all of a sudden but the teachers said it should be better just let go. The longer I stayed, the more he'd believe mom should be around all the time.
So there he is, crying. And mom left weeping, too.
Is it time to set the small baby to fly already? Will he understand that mom should not be around all the time and learn to play with other children? He has been an independent boy and was able to play by himself for a long time. But that was when mom was in sight. He is always a mommy's little boy. I really am not confident whether he can adjust to this abrupt change or not at such a young age.
All I can do is to pray and hope he don't get hurt in his feeling. Hope his little mind knows that mommy wish to be at his aside all the time but one day he will want to fly away, too.
Sigh, this is heartbreaking.
