Father's Day Surprise

Nickolas had an exciting week -- he spent three afternoons testing out a new daycare setting at Miss Bennie's home with seven other children. Dan and Aimee dropped Nickolas off for his first three-hour try on Wednesday. When Aimee went to pick Nickolas up, he smiled, but then ran right past his mommy towards something new and exciting in another room. In the three afternoons there, he did not shed a tear and seemed to have a happy and fun time. The other children range in age between 6 months and 30 months, so at 16 months, Nickolas fit right in. He passed out in the car exhausted after the first afternoon and came home the other two days very busy and eager to play with his toys - almost in a new way unlike before. Next week, he'll start with full days. Should be quite an adventure for the wee one. Luckily, he really seems to be enjoying it.

On Friday, when Aimee picked him up, in Nickolas's hand was this (pictured below). He made it today with his very own hand prints for his daddy on Father's Day. Happy Father's day, Dan!
