Phew!

Apparently, Cooper's first day at daycare went pretty well. He refused to eat all morning, but he did play some, and did take a nap when it was naptime. He ended up waking up from his nap before the other kids, so the daycare owner and him just hung out- and then Cooper decided to wolf down a ton of food. He was very relieved to see me in the afternoon, but not horribly clingy or panicky.

When we got home, he was pretty much himself. We played with his new awesome toy dump truck in the mini gravel pit (his favorite spot in our yard) and had a nice snack. He ended up eating two full dinners, including spaghetti with sauce on it, which he normally eschews.

We did an early bedtime because he seemed really tired, and he ended up sleeping for 12 hours and 1 minute. Matt and I had a lovely breakfast all by ourselves as Cooper slept, which is the first time we've done that since Cooper was born! Amazing.

Matt reports that Cooper was nervous but not panicky when he got dropped off this morning. I think this transition is going to go pretty well. I'm really happy that Cooper's reaction to his first day seemed smooth and normal.
