Daycare has been a struggle for us. He cries when I drop him off, cries when I pick him up and, depending on how long his nap was that day (usually about 30 minutes; definitely not long enough) he cries in the evenings, mostly I think out of sheer exhaustion.
All that, however, might be changing. Isaac has a girlfriend.
Yesterday, his teachers told me he was holding hands with a little girl named Malana. Then, he walked over to her, kissed her on the cheek and did a little happy dance.
I teased him about it most of the evening, and this morning, I asked him if he was ready to go to daycare, and he said yes. I asked him if he was going to see Malana, and he said yes.
When we got to school, he started pointing to the door and saying, "Uh uh uh," which is what he says when he wants something. When we got to his classroom, he let me take off his coat and was generally happy until, looking around the room, he noticed Malana wasn't there yet.
THEN, he started crying and didn't want me to leave.
Malana's mother was bringing her to school as I was leaving, so I'm sure he cheered up pretty quickly.
Love,
The Former Most Important Woman in Isaac's Life
