That's what I feel like. A chook (or chooken as Henry calls it) with no head. The last two days have been insanely full of stuff. I feel like I've gotten in and out of the car with Henry at least 300 times. It's probably only been 10 but it felt like a lot more. Especially trying to get a 13 kilo hefty weight such as Henry into the car seat which is in the back of a small hatchback car.
He had his first day at day care yesterday. He didn't stay the whole day and I didn't have the heart to leave him on his own. I stayed with him for an hour and a half and then we left together. He has 3 girls and 4 other boys in his group. None of them as handsome, smart or happy as he is. Of course. The girls just hung out and did their thing like smear paint on every surface they could and the boys were all crying like nancies for their mama's. That's a bit mean isn't it? I felt terrible for the poor babies. All standing at the window which looks over the carpark waiting for their mama's to drive up and rescue them from this hell hole called day care. Henry just got there and let out some 'woo hoos" of excitement at the sight of all the toys and books. He pulled every box containing blocks off the shelves and tipped them all over the place, ate some poor kids morning tea (she didn't want it anyway), climbed on the tables to test their stability, painted the chairs and tore a couple of pages out of a book he didn't like. When he'd done all that he went to the door, knocked on it and said "home". I forgot to take the camera so I have no photos to give you of this momentous occasion. I have a feeling he'll be fine when he stays for the whole day next week.
After we'd done that Maya had to go to the dentist to get her mouth probed and poked at so they could discuss the several ways they might cut it open in a few weeks time to expose a tooth and attach a chain to it so they can pull it down. I thought I might be sick just hearing them talk of tearing into the gum and making a flap and yanking the tooth down. She then had a hair cut and asked for a few things she knew she could never have (she's grounded and in big trouble right now but that's another story). Her hair looks very nice. She thinks so too because she won't stop looking at it in the mirror. The day just continued to get busy and today was no better. At least Henry is starting to pay more attention to TV - Sesame Street being one of his new favourites. This means he is occupied for at least 10 minutes. Sometimes I even manage to get the dishes washed.

Oh Michelle - Sounds like Henry is gonna LOVE daycare!! tee hee, they won't know what hit them :) which centre is it?
I think so too. He's going to the ABC developmental learning centre. Don't know how they're going to teach them anything as they only have time to change their pants and get their food. The kids pretty much entertain themselves the rest of the time.
