Hi ladies! My sweet one year old daughter started day care today after being cared for by my mom in my home for the first year. I'd see her everyday at lunch, so it's a huge transition for me. She actually did pretty well today with just a few tears here and there from what I was told. I'm currently teaching summer school, so my plan was to pick her up everyday when I get out at 1:00, but when I went today it was nap time, and I felt like it was too much of a disruption. So I think for her own benefit, I'll wait until 2:30 when naptime is over. I'm done with summer school in two weeks, and as much as I want to spend so much time with her, i know it'll mess up her routine. I'm thinking of sticking with the same schedule but maybe keeping her home only on Fridays. I'm just SO attached to my baby and thinking of her crying and I can't console her kills me. I worked at a preschool for five years, and I know it's normal, but I didn't think it would be so hard on me - especially with her actually doing pretty well lol. I just really need some words of encouragement that it gets better. My daughter loves socializing and she never gets to, so wanted to give her that opportunity even if it's hard on us. Sorry for the long post, I guess I just needed to vent too.
