Zeb and I both really enjoyed our time at home with Zander over the last few months, but our leave has come to an end. I didn't have a traditional maternity leave (unfortunately with adoption I didn't have the same benefits and would have had to take a lot of unpaid time), so Zeb and I both took time at home with Zander over the past 12 weeks while the other was at work. My mom also came down a few days to hang out with Zander while we both worked. We were able to find a small in home daycare that is only about 10 minutes from our condo and is near a train station so Zeb can help (we only have 1 car in the city). Zander did a few short trial days last week and this was his first full week. He seems to like it there and does well with the 2 ladies who run it and really likes being around the other kids. His new friends are 2 little girls 6 months old and 3 little boys ages 2-3 years. They all love Zander at the daycare and he has not shortage of love and attention while he is there. We are happy we found a good place with good people to care for him while we are at work, but we definitely miss our time with him.

Grandma Lynne was more than happy to make the trip to Chicago a few times to babysit Zander

He survived his first day and gives us both huge smiles when we pick him up
He was wiped out by the end of the week from all the action and excitement
