First Day

We were up early. Angel got ready for work while I changed Rafael's clothes. It was Rafael's first day in day care. Somehow, Angel and I felt as though it was our first day in school. A mix of excitement and anxiety.

After weeks of trying to decide which day care to take him to, we finally came to a decision late last week. We were impressed by his teacher-to-be, Monica and her school. We also like the mix of the kids' ages. So last week, we went again for a visit with Rafael. He was expectedly hesitant at first. It took him a few minutes to warm up. Kids have somehow a natural sense of trying to feel out their environment. You could tell how he was hesitant to touch any of the toys around him.
