Today, Baby CP is officially 19 months old and had his first experience with day care. He hasn't officially started yet, but he went in for a two-hour play date to determine whether he and the day care program would be a good fit.

The lady who runs the program said that Baby CP did so well that she thought he had been to day care before. Way to go Baby CP! I was a little worried that he would cry when getting dropped off, but I had a good feeling that he would be good since he likes new places and people even though he's a little shy at first. They said he didn't cry at all! They also said that they did some little tests with him and that at his age, usually kids can't sit and pay attention for more than 15 minutes, but Baby CP was able to cooperate. She just wondered whether he talked more at home because he mainly used body language and his eyes to tell her things and he didn't really speak much to her. She's sure he'll adjust after a few days.

Baby CP was sick for a couple weeks and I think it happened at the same time as some teething. He was SUPER cranky for about 7-10 days. The only thing that would distract him was television. At first he was into Bob the Builder and Thomas the Train, but mainly for the parts that involved music and songs. The problem was just that he'd ask for it all day long. Then he fell in love with Dora...I mean love at first sight. After the first episode he wanted "do-wah" or "doooora" ALL THE TIME. We had to cut down on the TV time as he started to feel better and now limit him to 1 or 2 episodes a day max. It wasn't that bad though because when he started to feel better he would play with his toys more.
