When I went to pick him up that evening I was disappointed but had resigned myself to taking a "second day" picture and pretending it was taken on his first day. As I buckled him in to leave, the Daycare Director came outside, "Mrs. Griffin, you left your camera here this morning!" and I chunked it inside the van.
Oh well.
So, when I got home, I looked on the camera and found this:
Turns out, when his teacher found the camera, she snapped this single shot for me. I just started sobbing. (Again.)
It has been a really hard few days. It's the end of a very sweet era with Davers.
It feels a lot like when I go to get another cookie and suddenly realize I have just scarfed down the last one. If I had only REALIZED it was my very last cookie, I would have slowed down and savored every single bite.

Someone once said that you have to experience the sour to appreciate the sweet. That's all this is. It ain't easy, but it will all turn out okay in the end. I hope your next week is a little easier and better.
It does get easier and what I have found is that TGIF really has meaning again!! I always looked forward to the weekends b/c Corry would be off but now I REALLY look forward to the weekends and getting to spends all weekend with the kids.
That's so wonderful that you have that picture. So nice of them.
Have another cookie...
Look at little Daivs...putting the toys away! Ha ha ha!! He is learning something!
I've thought of you all week.
It's not really nice to make a pregnant lady cry at work (that's when I check out your blog). I'm SO GLAD that the teacher did that for you! How wonderful!
