Bye Bye Distillery Early Learning!

It's Rory's last day today at the Distillery Early Learning Center.  We made cupcakes together and a card.  Here's a little mommy wisdom I can pass along though... if you don't plan on letting your kid have a cupcake with smarties on it for breakfast, don't let him see them in the morning. :)

So Rory and I turned these... (should have used a flash)

Into these...

And made a little card to go along with them to say how much fun he had with the Distillery team.

Thanks again for everything! We can't say enough good things about the team at the Distillery. XO

Update - I definitely had to include the little cards Rory's friends made him in this post! So cute... and sad too. I hate good byes.

Bittersweet Daycare Success

This is Rory's last week at the Distillery Early Learning Center. It really is bittersweet. I finally feel we have hit daycare gold and we're leaving!  So sad.

Since Rory has switched rooms, things have been amazing at the Distillery Center.  He is learning a TON, super cute artwork comes home everyday, he is napping like a champ there, and so happy at drop off and picks up. Oh, and we haven't had a single incident report and get this... they even have him FOLLOWING RULES?!!!  What??!!!   Is this my child?

Each day this week the staff has been telling me how sad they are going to be when Rory leaves. Yesterday and again this morning, it almost made me cry. But what doesn't these days?

I am baking a cupcake extravaganza to celebrate Rory's last day (on Friday).  Just wait for the pictures.

Anyway, isn't this just the cutest picture ever?  Rory is way in the back on one of the teacher's knees.  As we prepare to say good-bye, I really can't say enough great things about this place!  They gave us a spot when we were totally in a bind during the daycare strike, they have been incredibly receptive to our feedback, eager to calm our concerns and answer questions, and most importantly have taken great care of our little guy. What more could you ask for in a daycare?

We will miss you!!
