You're a big boy now

Dear Aidan,

I can't believe the time is finally here. You are starting daycare tomorrow. Daddy took a day off from work so that he can be with you while you transition into daycare this week. It was really nice having your Vancouver grandma here while mommy went back to work because I felt that she was going to take care of you with the best of her ability. I know daycare will be good, but I know that they won't treat you how your family treats you. It's going to be different. You are so used to being doted on and receiving the best, but in daycare you will be surrounded by other kids your age. The teachers won't be able to give you their full attention and since you aren't their child they won't treat you as well as we do. I spent most of this evening preparing your stuff to bring to daycare tomorrow (diapers, wipes, extra clothing, sunscreen, bottles, etc. etc.). Yesterday your Toronto grandma called me to say that she bought you a raincoat and Auntie Jess bought you a backpack for your first day at daycare. That was so sweet of them.

I tried giving you homo milk for the first time yesterday because I want you to transition from formula to homo milk after you turned 1. You're still getting used to it, but I think you'll do just fine. We upped the amount of homo milk we gave you today as well. I took a few snapshots of you having homo milk and doing other stuff.


Look at your new cup mommy and daddy bought you at Baby's R Us yesterday. It's a cup with a straw. We want to eventually wean you off bottles with nipples because it's apparently not good for you now. The hard sucking could make you more prone to ear infections and other bad things.



Hmmm. It seems like you don't like homo milk. Actually you always make a face when you try the first tasting.



You couldn't stop playing with the straw. I had to hold your hand down while I fed you because you kept fussing with the straw.



You had a little bit of the homo milk and then I fed you cheese strings. You love that stuff.



Uh oh! A piece of cheese got stuck on your face.





Jjak jjak goong, jjak jjak goong. (That means clap, clap, clap in Korean)



The far-off look you have on your face while you are chewing on cheese strings.



You crossed your feet together while you were enjoying your cheese. It was very cute indeed.



Oh, that dreaded foot has come up again! You love playing with your foot while you are eating. It's such a bad habit.



Look at that foot! It's bigger than your head!



Mommy bought you a Charlie Brown shirt at United Colors of Benetton the other day. I didn't even know they sold baby clothes, let along Peanuts shirts! I love Charlie Brown and Snoopy so I couldn't resist.



Now you match mommy's Peppermint Patty shirt!


Here's a video of you while you were eating. You were being your usual goofy, playful self:
