Today was bug's first day with the childminder. It went so well!
Bug had fallen asleep in the car on the drive there so wasn't too impressed when I woke him lifting him out the car seat. When we got to the childminders house she asked him if she was going to get a cuddle and once she took him from me he cuddled into her and didn't fuss at all. I said to her it was better if I just left quickly so she took him into the kitchen where another boy was playing on the floor and I left.
I felt a little anxious when I was at work. I just kept thinking about whether he was ok or if he was unsettled. I was worried about whether or not he'd eat his lunch. Just everything really.
I shouldn't have worried at all.
When I got back to the childminders after my shift he was asleep on the sofa. She said he was absolutely wonderful and the happiest little boy she's looked after for a while. I was so relieved. I mentioned I was worried in case he wasn't settling. She said he was a very cuddly boy and liked having cuddles with her as well as her two daughters (who will only see bug on school holidays).
As well as telling me what he done while he was there, she also gave me a note of what he done (eg, what he played with), what he had for lunch and snacks, how much of it he ate (all of it today!), nappy changes and when he went to sleep. There was also a bit for any other news and she wrote that he settled great and was generally very happy. She said he has a gorgeous smile.
I feel so much better and I've definitely made the right choice. So not only did I go to pick up my happy little man, I got to hear about how delightful he is :) Bug is back tomorrow again but I'm not worried at all!
