4 more days till practicum! I’m soooooo excited.

Baby started daycare this last Monday, and seems to be enjoying it. He’s not cranky at home, which tells me that he didn’t have a terrible day; when I leave him with a babysitter that he’s not entirely too fond of, he gets really testy and cranky and increasingly attached when I get home and for like, two weeks afterward. Since daycare started, I find that he’s responding to his name more and is asserting his independence more (especially when it comes to feeding himself). All this after only three days! 

Of course, there are problems. He didn’t cry when I left on the first day (he was distracted by all the new toys) but he’s been crying when I left since. And he doesn’t like to sleep on the cots provided from him during nap time… Actually, nap time seems to be a problem in general, but I’m sure he’ll get over that too. 

All in all, it’s going great! Now all that’s left is for subsidy to kick in, and we’ll all be happy campers.

I’m so glad I decided to have him start daycare a week before I started my practicum. Now that I know how he’s dealing with things, it’s one less thing I need to worry about. 

And of course, I’m job hunting. I plan to start working in June through the end of October, then I’ll have my acute care practicum and then since I will have finished all my theory courses by then (I know I can, I know I can, I know I can!), I will just zoom off into my last two practicums and then graduate before April! Yay! And then I can write the CPNRE exam in May, and be an LPN no later than June of next year! Woohoo! So excited for myself. 

More soon!
