Back to work today. The general plan will be Lorea will drop Akins off everyday at day care and I will pick him up, well except for when the general rule doesn't work and then Grandma is standby. Akins had been saying no to school all weekend but he graciously went and seemed to have a good time. I am told he is quiet at school hard for me to beleive and I worry what it means. Is he shy? Is he struggling to communicate? Is he taking it all in? Is he afraid and somewhat regressing to the days of yore at the orphanage where it seemed he spoke little, listened lots and learned everything.
When I picked him up he was almost shy with me at first seemingly puzzled by the whole notion that I did come back and that he could leave with me. Thirty minutes later he was screaming "I want Chikin" and one hour later we were racing down the driveway he on his bike and me on a razor scooter. I guess it is okay, as long as we can make it really fun after daycare until he settles in. I worry for Wednesday night when I will be gone and how this will make him feel. But, I will come home and one day I hope he will rest comfortably all night long without the need to find me in the middle of the night. I realize this is my desire now and when that day comes I also will likely be sadden by it too. Weird how we humans work huh?
