About a month ago, Elaine and I decided to move forward and take Jordan out of Good Samaritan Daycare. It wasn't that the care the he was receiving was bad, but we just had issues with the new room that they put the toddlers in. Elaine was more certain about moving him, but I was still a little hesitant. I know that Jordan is great socially. He's proven that over and over again. But I know that he likes it at GS, and the caretakers love him. That's what makes it difficult for me to pull him out. I guess I've been hyper sensitive about moving him and how he'll be the first week at the new place. I just don't want him to cry out. It's hard enough when he cries when we put him down for a nap.
The new location is closer to my work, so I will now be dropping and picking Jordan up everyday. This morning on the drive in, Jordan was fairly quiet, pushing his musical key chain over and over again. I think I sang "Yankee Doodle" 5 times, "Doggie in the Window" 6 times, and "Mary had a Little Lame" 5 times.
We approached the location and we said a quick prayer, a normal routine that I do with Jordan before daycare. When it came time to pass Jordan off to the new caretaker, he looked back at me like, "Uh, where are you taking me?" He reached out a little, and I held his hands while talking to the caretaker. He didn't cry though, and an email from the daycare said that he was doing fine. So I guess maybe all my worry was for naught.
