I'm thinking it's a growth spurt with him. He looked a little different to DH and I after not seeing him for a few days. I'm glad that he's a good eater. He still doesn't like tomato based sauces though. He hates bbq and anything tomato based. I'm hoping it's just a phase with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happysad-that-your-lo-goes-back-to-daycare-after-the-holidays#post-1317404 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 12:28:51 +0000 lilyann 1317404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mixed emotions for sure. Ours was closed from 12/24-1/1, which is a long time to take off work, etc. I was sooo excited to pick him up from daycare yesterday though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happysad-that-your-lo-goes-back-to-daycare-after-the-holidays#post-1317389 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 12:24:49 +0000 irene 1317389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Lucky you - I feel that LO didn't grow at all during the holidays, if anything, he seems to have gotten shorter (is that even possible?!). He's been a picky eater over the holidays and started throwing food on the floor with us again (he stopped for months, then started out of the blue). He basically wasn't eating his meals, so we decided not even giving him the morning and afternoon snacks in the hopes he would eat more at meal time, and he still wouldn't. Argh!</p> <p>I guess that part I am glad he is going back to school and they will be dealing with him for lunch and the two snack times. And somehow he'd still magically eat his dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happysad-that-your-lo-goes-back-to-daycare-after-the-holidays#post-1317219 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 11:23:01 +0000 cascademom 1317219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little of both. He finally went back today. He seemed to be in a good mood. His teacher/owner was surprised by how much he's grown and gotten heavy. It'll be interesting to see if he returns to two naps with a routine. During the vacation time, he's been dropping a nap. We're curious to see if the second nap returns or if he's transitioning to one nap a couple months ahead of schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happysad-that-your-lo-goes-back-to-daycare-after-the-holidays#post-1317193 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 11:16:05 +0000 MapleMoose 1317193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby STARTS daycare on Monday.

Especially when her teacher said this morning that she was really fussy and kept saying Mama when I left yesterday. Heart shattered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happysad-that-your-lo-goes-back-to-daycare-after-the-holidays#post-1316696 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 08:55:03 +0000 Andrea 1316696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am relieved only because I think everyone needs their routine back. DD has actually been crying every day that school is still closed. She says she misses her friends and teachers. </p> <p>Otherwise, I don't mind her being home now that I am a SAHM. It was stressful back when I was working and had to take time off, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happysad-that-your-lo-goes-back-to-daycare-after-the-holidays#post-1316690 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 08:51:46 +0000 irene 1316690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your daycare was closed over the holidays, Were you happy/sad that your LO goes back to daycare after the holidays?</p> <p>Ours closed from 12/24 to 1/1. DH and I both took time off. While our holidays had ups and downs (started out with flu, the then a road trip, and a ton of errands), I was actually a bit sad yesterday when we dropped LO off back at school. I really love and cherish spending time with LO. I know DH couldn't stand it another day though, or so he said.</p> <p>How about you? Were you relieved it is over, or were you a bit sad ? </p>
