First day of nursery and work

Well, today Simon dropped Marius off at his nursery, and I went into work for the first time in 18 months! It was really nice to be back in an office again. I'm still just getting my head around my projects and trying to figure out what I need to start doing. But it is interesting work, and it's nothing too complicated, just a lot of keeping people on track. It'll be easier than getting Simon to do the laundry!!!!
Marius had a little cry when Simon dropped him off, and again when he had to go inside after lunch, and again when he was going down for a nap. But that's not too bad for the day. We get a little piece of paper with the list of things he did and ate, and it said he had a "fab" day playing with "goo." I'm not sure what that is, but when I took off his socks to put him in the bath, he had something yellow on his entire foot. I think he got a marker on his foot, but why the whole foot, I'm not sure?
The poor boy got what looked like an insect bite on his face on Friday. Then he had more later than night and again on Saturday and Sunday. Last night we figured they were hives, and today I got a call from the nursery saying that he had red bumps on his back. I will try to call the Dr tomorrow to see if he can be seen, but I'm sure it's not a bug, as they come and go pretty quickly for the most part, and we washed everything in his room, plus if it were a bug, I'd have gotten bit too. It's strange... we didn't change any soaps. I think it may have been due to lunch meat or Indian take out we had on Friday night, but then again, he had one of the bumps before the Indian food on Friday.... hmmmm mysterious, and a little frustrating, as I want to know what is triggering these mystery hives. It seems to be a little bit more common when he's upset, but he still has a few of them through out the day when he's totally fine too.
Oh, we had a blast with Paula and the family. I cried when they left.... Four days was WAY too short. Marius loved playing with his Uncle Ian and the kids. And I'm sure the feeling was mutual. It was really nice to see them all playing together. I can't wait for them to come back again next year. It should be fun!
