Junior's first experience at daycare was a success. We had to take him to the backup daycare at Daddy's work, because Nanny was out that day. We were worried about how he would react to spending the whole day with strangers away from home. Daddy dropped him off, and apparently Junior ran off to play with the toys and barely said bye. The teachers reported that he played with at the lego table most of the day, as well as with the fire truck and bus. He also came home with a little art project that he drew with chalk on black paper. The only hitch was that he did not want to take a nap. He did sleep eventually, for about 1.5 hours. When Daddy came to pick him up at the end of the day, he didn't want to come home. He was sitting at the kids' table with a big bib on (he never lets us put bibs on him at home), and muffin crumbs all over him. The teacher said he had been sitting there quietly savoring his mini-muffin for over an hour.

He's been having busy days with Mommy the past couple of months. She's still at home on maternity leave, so every day they go out on their own to do some activities. In addition to the childcare at Mommy's exercise studio and gymboree, we've added trips to the library and luncheon outings. Junior pretty much goes along with everything and never complains when we're out of the house.
We have to be careful about what we do around the house, even when we think Junior isn't looking or listening. Mommy likes to eat snacks once Junior goes to bed. One day after gymboree, Mommy and Junior stopped at the bakery and bought a few pastries. That night after Junior was tucked away in his crib, Mommy came to the kitchen to open up the bag full of pastries to eat one. Junior must have heard the plastic bag rustling, because a moment later he started yelling from his crib over and over, "WANT SOME BAO BAO!!" meaning "want some bread" in Cantonese. There is nothing wrong with this boy's hearing.
