Yesterday was Autumn’s first day back at daycare after being out for more than a year. Our neighbor, Carrie, dropped Autumn off yesterday morning and Carrie said Autumn marched in like a trooper. Autumn is a very social person and though Maria has done a tremendous job of keeping the kids active over the past year, I’m sure Autumn just loves being back in daycare with her friends.
Noah’s first day of daycare is today. He didn’t start yesterday because he had a biopsy scheduled at Duke. The biopsy went well. The doctor who did the procedure said that his heart function was excellent (better than good). Because they tried to go into Noah’s heart through his groin, recovery took a bit longer. When we first saw Noah in the recovery room, his nurse was struggling to keep him on his back. For the next three hours, it was up to Maria and I to keep him on his back. That was not fun. Noah also had a board strapped to his leg so he wouldn’t bend it. Somehow, he managed to kick the board off a couple of times. He wasn’t having any fun, either.
Noah is feeling much better today, though, and is in daycare now. Maria said he cried when she droped him off, but she feels that he’ll do all right. We’ll post more news and pictures of his first day at daycare later.
Maria is also getting ready to get back to teaching again after being out with the kids for a year and a half. She seems slightly more excited than overwhelmed right now. I know that she’s ready to get back to her profession and her friends again.
As for me, I mowed down all but a couple of tomato plants in my first vegetable garden and am looking forward to applying what I learned from this year's near failure to next year’s improved garden.
