well... it was quite an emotionally taxing day. otis's first day at daycare, my first day at next, eamon's first evening at AWANA.

the thorn was that daycare was as difficult as we expected, but the rose was that it was not worse than we expected. plus, he didn't cry all day (he stopped when they were outside), and lisa (his caregiver) was not troubled by him. she was very reassuring that he will do better and better each day. so i'm very thankful. she seems like a good fit.
