I have to go back to work next week. Todd is taking off 2 weeks but we are still within just a couple of weeks of having Jun in daycare full time. I know he'll love daycare someday, but in the near future he is likely to be scared that we will not be back to pick him up. -Jun and I have been visiting his day care, but today Todd and I left him there for the first time on his own. -For a total of 15 minutes- All things considered I think it went well, but that is not to say it was a good time for him. He was very scared and had to be pulled out of my arms as we were leaving. He was truly afraid when we left. Todd and ran out of the daycare because I had tears in my eyes and did not want him to see them. -So, after leaving the daycare we drove around town for 15 minutes and watched the clock... we just waited for the time when we could return to pick him up. When we retured the teacher told us that he had actually stopped crying after about 10 minutes. I took that as good news, but dread doing the whole thing over again tomorrow.

Earlier this week we took our first trip to the ocean! Jun Jun got hit pretty hard by a wave within the first few minutes of arrival, but other than that the trip was a big success! Jun Jun loved the sea shells and feathers that Dahju found for him so I think we'll be headed back there again soon. -Oh, and I also think he enjoyed the rocking horse, little rocking chair, hotdogs, chips, and fish snack crackers we ate at Nona and Dahju's house. I was worried that 5 hours in the car in one day would bother him, but I think he even enjoyed the car ride.
