Stephen cried a lot when we first left him in the childcare at the YMCA. Then a bit less, then just when we dropped him off. But the last two days, he has not even cried then! He just happily goes in and waves to us as we leave, then goes off to play.
I think this time is valuable not only to Mama so she can not go crazy, but also to Stephen and Sarah as they learn to play with other kids as well as how to entertain themselves without Mama or Papa.
Stephen follows Sarah around in there; yesterday I watched Sarah push a chair around the floor while Stephen was pushing another chair just a few steps behind her. The imitation goes both ways because Sarah will very often imitate what Stephen is doing, especially if what he is doing makes us laugh or respond positively.
