Progress!

On Thursday I took Mr. Baby for another hour at the day care centre.  I will be honest, I thought it was going to be as bad as Monday was and did not have high expectations at all.  I went on my merry way at 12:30pm over to the shops fully expecting a call after 15 mins to tell me that he hadn't stopped crying (I had asked them to call me if he cried for 15 mins solid).  Fifteen minutes passed and no call, half an hour, then I headed back over at 1:30pm to pick him up, half wondering if perhaps he'd been crying but they didn't want to bother me with the call.  I walked in and he was on the floor with a carer playing with toys!  No tears! I was so proud of him that I got few tears myself however :)

I have booked him in for an hour and a half on Monday and Wednesday so we'll see how he goes this week! 

In other news, the Mister got a brand new bbq yesterday!  It is a really amazing (read: expensive) Weber called a Q300.   I happily agreed to spending over $800 on this bbq for two reasons. Firstly, it truly makes him happy and will do so every time he uses it.  Secondly, I know he will make super yummy food on it that I will get to eat! So it's a win-win situation. I'm sure our neighbours will be happy we have the new gas grill too - the kettle weber he's been using the past few months makes a heck of a lot of smoke when you are getting the fire going.  We live in a townhouse so I was always very aware that our neighbours on either side probably felt like they lived in a smokehouse for a half hour or so!  Not a neighbourly thing to do so we'll now be able to save the kettle bbq for "special occasions".... or maybe until we move into a proper house eventually.
