Ahhhh!
Max went happily to daycare this morning.
Who would think those 7 words would bring such joy? Not I. Yet I found myself singin' a little tune as I walked back from dropping him off. He'd gotten down from my arms okay, no crying, and went in to get bagels with the other kids. He was happy to be there.
The lack of tears was music to my ears! The birds were chirping merrily, the sun was warming the nape of my neck, flowers were blooming, ants were building, and even the neighbors looked prettier. As a youngster of 25 or so, I certainly don't recall thinking such a small event would precipitate such joy.
But it does. Funny, huh?
I wasn't pushing Max to go to daycare since he was sick earlier this week, but he demanded I put clothes on him this morning, and right in the middle of a good Wiggles song on television he turned and said, "Wiggles off, go Kathy's (daycare lady)." So, it was shoes on and off we go!
Of course, we did enjoy Max's sickdays at home, he taught himself how to get a drink (of water).
