now that i go to bed early (between 10 and 10:30), i'm always surprised that when i wake momentarily in the night, only to discover that it's only 12:30. it's funny because it feels like i've been sleeping for a long time. i've heard several times that every hour of sleep you get before midnight is worth twice as much as an hour after midnight. perhaps this is why i feel pretty well rested, even though i get up at 5:30 each morning.
i've just completed my first full week of work, and it was pretty good. i have wednesday afternoon off, and it LOVED that. i finished at 11 am, so it felt like a normal day off. truth be told, when i was at home on mat leave, my mornings were not particularly productive, so i'm not really missing anything by working that morning (other than sleeping later).
i'm definitely on my way to being fully adjusted to my new life, but poor eamon's having a harder time. he cries a lot when brendan drops him off in the morning, and then cries almost inconsolably when i pick him up in the afternoon. i think he's just so overwhelmed with a range of emotions that it's expressed with tears. i just have to hold him for a while, and usually nurse him for a bit until he settles down and is ok with not being held. i know it will get better, and eventually he'll love going to day care, but it sucks that he has to go through this first. it'll be ok, and it's kind of nice to see that he's so attached to us.

I've seen it many times with kids that they cry when they are picked up from daycare, you're right he's just over-whelmed and I'm sure he'll adjust soon enough. He's at one of the best day cares in town too so that's a bonus!
