Thanks everyone, hopefully next time will go a bit smoother. I got really good vibes from this creche, so i definitely think he was just completely overstimulated. Being school holidays it was a bit of a madhouse too, and he has never been in that sort of environment before. Next time i am going to hand him over asleep in his capsule and time it to go back just as he wakes up, no reason to make him try and get used to it so early on. I think i can limit it to one creche visit per week for a while and just go one night, one weekend day and have mum look after him during lunchtime on one of DD's preschool days.

Snowy Love, i was pretty reluctant to leave DD at swimming as well, but i was watching her through the glass and the minute i went out of sight she was absolutely fine! I was a bit shocked, when i went back in she didn't see me for a bit and then the second she saw me the waterworks started... She then went on to play swimming lessons with her dolls all afternoon, and the dolls were all having a great time so i can't help but think that it was all a bit of a show.
