Mom's Day Out

After almost a year of isolation, Alan started a Mom's Day Out program today. He will be attending the same school big brother Kevin went to last year for a summer fun program, and it will be the school he will be attending in the fall. We were lucky they had someone moving so soon after Alan was given the All Clear by the oncologist to be in a daycare-type situation. He is starting off slow, just a half day once a week, but this summer both Alan and Kevin will attend the summer fun program twice a week. Then Alan will be going twice a week on his own once Kevin goes back to school.



Alan was so excited when we got to the classroom. We were pleasantly surprised to see Mrs. Huddleston, who was one of Kevin's teachers last summer. He got into the paint right away and was happily making a mess. No tears here... See ya Mommy!



When Mommy came to pick him up, Alan was pooped but content. He had lots of fun on the playground and was draining his milk. Here he is with his teachers Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Huddleston. He only got cranky when the milk ran out. What a successful first day!

Now I'm off to the washing machine to see if the paint stains came out of his shirt sleeves!
