Damien just finished his first week at the CDC and it all went well. The staff is friendly and I feel comfortable with them. I think I have all the rules down so that takes away some of the stress. Damien will be on a set schedule which will make things easier for the weekend. He gets to go outside twice a day which is probably his favorite part (aside from eating). The meals seem like they're healthy, but sound like something I would want to eat. Scott and I are very happy with our decision.
I was a little bit concerned at first with how Damien would adjust. He just seemed so cranky in the mornings and evenings, but the teachers had nothing but positive things to say. He's a good eater (which I already knew), he plays nice with the other kids, he only sleeps one hour out of the two for their scheduled nap time, but apparently he just stays put on his cot for the remainder of it. How awesome is that? We did have to make a couple adjustments at home. He seemed SO hungry at the end of the day when I would pick him up, so I've been keeping snacks and juice in the car for him to eat on the drive home to hold him over until dinner. We've also been putting him to bed an hour earlier. He's been cranky for us because he's been SO exhausted from all this activity all day.
Below is a picture of Damien in the tent we bought for him today. Prince Damien has already managed to break a piece on it so it's only a matter of time before he won't be able to use it anymore. Oh well, he loves it while it's around anyways :)
