First week at daycare

I went back to work this past Wednesday, and yes, it was a hard day. Any one who asked me how I was that morning got a teary-eyed answer. As hard as it is to leave our baby, it was even harder since she wouldn’t take the bottle. We started a week ago, and realized we had a problem. Of course, the experts at the daycare have done a great job and she does better each day. The main teacher of the baby room, Miriam, said she’s interested in the other babies (there are 8 in the room, including Charlotte) and that her demeanour is happy and she’s been talking a lot. Which is great, that’s how she acts at home, so she’s transitioning really well.

Beth, another teacher, plays with the babies in the room. Leah in front is almost one, Jose has his back to the camera and is Miriam’s son, McKinnley is in the blue. We’ve been spending time there and learning about the other kids, getting to know the teachers better and meeting the other parents.
