Week with Grandma
I started this post a while back and am just getting around to finishing it up. These pictures are of Sawyer's stay at Grandma Karen's house when we were on vacation. As you can see he had a great time with his grandma, daddy, and cousins Katelyn, Hunter, and Tucker. He ate, slept, visited, ate, played, and ate some more (: Here are a few of my favorites that Karen gave to me to show me what he did while we were gone. There were so many good pictures-was this enough pictures for you Chrissy? (:

he is dangerously adorable! You are in trouble when he is older...all those girls will be calling!
Oh my GOSH!!! There is never enough pictures for me! Boy, was he a busy boy. I can't believe all the stuff they did. I love the one where Kate is doing his hair in the mirror. She had to love having him there all week. I, also, can't get over how close in size Sawyer and Hunter are. I always think of Hunter as being so much older than him. They'll be good buddies as they grow.
Thanks for all the great photos. I miss him terribly, though. :(
I laughed so hard at the shoes, how fun are they! Great pictures, I think he is daddy's boy. What a fun week for everyone.

Sawyer just looks so grown up! What a sweetie. It was so nice of Karen to take so many photos for you!
How is daycare going for sawyer? Any better this week?
Today was absolutely horrible....I felt like the worst mom in the world and basically left him there screaming ): I can't wait for the work day to be done so I can pick him up. I called her and she said she held him awhile and then let him pick out a movie to watch upstairs on the "cozy" couch. So as of then he was on the couch with his blanky and the dog watching a movie. That made me feel better that he wastn't still crying, but we will find out in 2 hours if he was sad all morning. I just hate this feeling....I am questioning even working, even though it is only 4 hours a day, I don't want to traumatize him......
Oh Lorrie--I'm so sad to hear he's having a bad day. Was he there yesterday or is this the first day of the week? It may be just that....used to being around the kids all weekend, then having you to himself yesterday. Poor boy...and poor you.
I'm sure he'll be o.k. once you pick him up, he's always so easy and easy to please. Let me know how it went. I'm thinking of you today.
This is the first day of the week, so I hope it is just that it was his first day back......She said he was fine the rest of the morning and she made him "king of the day." He got to pick out what they ate for lunch and stuff like that. The realist in me is wondering if she just tells me that to make me feel better or if it is really happening (: Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
Do a surprise drop in or have Jon stop in unannounced, do it whenever you can and you will see what really goes on. If she is a good daycare provider, she won't mind the unexpected visits. You will either love what you see or pull him out and find another place. I have worked with kids most of my adult life and unexpected visits keep daycares on their toes, it's fun for the kids and helps parents feel good (or bad) about where their kids spend the day. You should always be welcome.
Love, Sandy
aww, that is so hard to hear how upset he was! It is very normal, I remember having many upset kids when working with kids his age. It's a tough adjustment for both of you. I really hope today went better for you!
Does his babysitter have a camera? Maybe you could have her take photos of him throughout the morning, doing their routine and make him a book that you can read with him at home. I found that, especially with two year olds, knowing the routine really helps them to adjust. It can help him get through the morning, knowing he is getting closer to you coming to get him.
Anyway, as hard as it is, give it some time and see if things get better. Give it a month and see how things are.
OK, I have to add...this is coming from the teacher in me. As a mom, easier said then done! I can't begin to imagine how tough it was on you to have to leave him there screaming...HUGS to you!
Thanks for the great advice Sandy and Julie! I didn't have time to ask her about the camera this morning as it is a highly emotional time ): I will have to one of these days when I pick him up. I love the book idea and I think that will help him, too. Today is the last day he goes there this week, so I am sure it will be horrible all over again next Tuesday I'm afraid.....thanks again!
