But today I stand before my readers proudly, and say, Meh, things could be worse.
We got very lucky, as daycare options were not abundant within our price range, and found a clean, quality daycare that is close to our home. The teachers are friendly and accomodating; the ratios are low; they allow for flexible schedules; and, a huge bonus: they're Pro-Cloth! We felt very comfortable from the moment we walked into the center; and Lucy had so much fun
I feel good about this. It's not my first choice, but it's the most practical choice. I know she'll have fun. I know she'll learn. And I know she'll get sick. (Taking the good with the bad, right?)
So, as of 6:30 this morning, we're officially a Daycare Family...at least for two days a week.

What a good baby!
ReplyDeleteAww I know that this was a tough road for you...but I think you're amazing to have such a positive attitude about it :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing you learn, as a parent, is to never say never. One thing you learn, as a GOOD parent, is to allow yourself to keep your opinions living because things change on a dime. I'm sure it was a hard decision, but the right one for you; you're just too good a parent to do otherwise. I hope both Lucy and her mama have a great first day of school and those to follow!

ReplyDeleteAww, sorry you had to do this, but at least Lucy didn't break your heart when you left her. She looks pretty happy to play with the other kids. Good for you for having a positive attitude. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a tough decision. I am glad you are happy with it and she is too!
