At least I'm getting to work on time, right???

I think I have set a new record for the year. I have clocked in EARLY this week for work instead of LATE for 4 days straight. I wish that I had a better reason for this lack of tardiness.....but here goes:

I have had to do the 30 second dash at Ben's daycare. Ben has hit the "clingy" stage with full force. One day he was happy playing in the morning and going to see the fish (pronounced "ish" and with every muscle in his body shaking with excitment when spouted off). The next day, he would not let go. Fingernails digging into my arm and back for dear life.

"Ben, do you want to see the fish?" He shakes his head No.
"Ben, do you want to go with Mama Joyce?" He shakes his head No.

That's when I have to place him in the loving arms of his teachers and RUN. All the while, I can hear my son screaming with all of his might for me NOT to go.

Thus....I have been early to work =0(

Taylor went through this phase...fortunately, it passes! It is so hard to leave your child when they are crying but know he is just fine shortly after you leave!

PS- When we said prayers last night, Taylor prayed for "Bend." (AKA- Ben)
