In August, Aaron and I went to Nove and ordered a wedding gift for a friend. Because in August most Italians go on vacation, a lot of places are closed. Well this store was open, however, they weren't going to be able to complete my order until the beginning of September when the rest of the employees got back from their holiday. I told my friend Laura that I needed to make a trip back to Nove, so we decided to go today. We didn't want to take the babies because there was way too many things for them to break, plus it would be fun for just us moms to go! That meant Connor was going to have to go to daycare... for the first time in his life. {A couple weeks ago I signed him up for hourly care, which means he will not be going full time, but I can pay by the hour if I need to run errands or have him go for a few hours here and there.} I was nervous, but excited for him to play with new kids and make friends. We packed his new little backpack and did a little photo shoot before leaving the house. How cute does he look?!?
Doing boy things: climbing and playing with dirt.
I was fine the whole way to the daycare center. We even took a few pictures when we got there!
I signed him in and waited for his teacher. He played for a little while, and then they asked us to go into another room so he could have breakfast until his teacher arrived. I guess she was running late. We washed his hands in the little sinks and when the teacher asked for Connor to go with her, he started crying. So then I picked him up and started crying too. She asked if he would like to play with some toys and got out the blocks. When I put him down and she showed him the blocks, he started crying again, which was my que to start crying again. It was bad. I was that mom that cries when they drop their child off. Once a couple other kids arrived he was fine and sat down for breakfast. I gave him a kiss on the top of his head and snuck out as soon as I saw that he was ok. I met my friend in her car and cried a little more, then I was fine ;)
We stopped and grabbed some money before leaving for Nove. Our first stop was to pick up my friends wedding gift, then we headed to my favorite store: La Ceramica VBC { I mentioned it in my first post about Nove}. This time I took a few pictures!
Look at all those dishes!
Aren't they pretty?
Then we saw the piggy banks. They aren't just ordinary piggy banks, they are sold at Tiffany & Co. for $125! When I saw them and how much they retailed for, I knew Connor had to have one because they cost a whole lot less here. Who cares if he already has one at home, this one trumps his $5 Home Goods one ;) I decided on the blue bunny because I thought it was the cutest one.
Whoever has a baby while we live here is getting a piggy bank :)
After spending about an hour in VBC, we stopped at the same coffee shop I went to last time and had a cappuccino and pastry. It was the perfect snack before going to one last store.
We had so much fun and are already planning another trip at the end of the month!
I was ready to pick up my baby after being away from him for a few hours. I watched him eat his lunch from the little window and he seemed to be doing great. I even saw them give him seconds. When I walked in, the teacher said she wanted to change his diaper before I took him home. While she did it, he started crying because he wanted for me to hold him {and probably because he hates getting his diaper changed}. She told me he was a good boy and should sleep well tonight. Well he couldn't make it to tonight, he fell asleep within 3 minutes of getting into the car. Maybe he should go to daycare more often... just kidding! I don't think I can handle being away from him that much.
