elek starts his new daycare – change
Posted by Peter Owen | Filed under family
This Monday, Elek started his new daycare, which is where I went when I was a kid. It has a large number of benefits including they serve him a hot lunch and they go from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM. We are so lucky to finally have Elek in a daycare that goes full time. He’s still adjusting to it, but hopefully he’ll even go willingly in a week or two. It breaks my heart to see him cry when I leave him.
Everyone can all get upset or moody when our schedule changes as well. It’s not unique to a two year old. Just as Elek is adjusting, so am I. I get set in my ways and this will become even more true when I get older. I think I should make it a habit of getting out of my routine, or changing something up when I get comfortable. It keeps me on my toes and makes me think. I have my lovely wife to thank for this new perspective as I also enjoy a schedule and routine. The unexpected is scary to me because it is somewhat out of our control. As Diana pointed out recently, I like to be in control so you can imagine that it’s a challenge to break out of that every so often.

So, yeah, being in control of your environment these days is about like trying to sift the ocean: it can’t be done!! You’ve been through some upheavals, as have I. I fear they are not yet ended. As Bette Davis intoned in “All About Eve,” “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!” But, God bless me–and you–I’m still hanging in there!
