Today, I left Ryan alone with a non-family member for the first time since he was born. The only times he has been out of my presence since birth were with Bill, my mother and my friend Shawna. Believe me it was a big step, even though I never left the building. :)
I went to the Cambridge Early Years Centre today, to attend a Baby Food Preparation Course. I learned how to make all of Ryan's baby food myself at home. While I was in class, I dropped him off in the infant care nursery. There are 3 adults watching 8 children (aged birth to crawling) in the room. If there are any problems they just walk to child down the hall to mommy (in whichever classroom she happens to be in) and she can take over. Well I dropped him off at the room at 9:30, and started class. Gradually as the morning went by, every other mother in the class had their baby brought to them. By 11:00 I was the only mother in there without her baby! When I went back to pick him up at 11:30, he was asleep. I don't know whether this is a good thing or not...my baby didn't need me! It was only for 2 hours, but still!
On the other hand I learned some really great stuff for making his food at home. I have another class next Monday, we'll see if today was a one-off performance.
