Last Thursday I started a new job. It is the first 8-5 that I have had since i got pregnant with Kylie so I was a little nervous about it. It is going well and it doesn't hurt to have an extra paycheck coming in. :) My biggest worry with going back to work was sending Kylie to daycare. I dreaded it and I thought that it was going to be horrible. I built myself up to thinking that she was going to hate it and going to hate me for leaving her.
So, the first morning I took her to daycare early so I would have plenty of time to try to ease out of there. I was so prepared. I left in plenty of time, I prayed HARD and brought all of my makeup with me in the car because I just knew that I was going to cry because she was going to cry.
Well, add this to the list of all the things that I get wrong as a mother. I took her in, she sat right down at a table and started eating her breakfast and I slipped out without even a whimper (from either of us). I knew it would be easier to not tell her by so I left while she was distracted with her pop tart. I considered this a success but i still thought that she would cry when she noticed I wasn't there. So, I called them when I got to work to see how she was doing. She had not even asked for me! Now I know that this was a huge blessing but I was almost a little hurt, in a good way. As a mom, you want your kids to miss you, but not in a way that makes you and them miserable.
Apparently, I didn't learn my lesson on Friday so I once again prepared and left early for daycare this morning thinking that she would catch on and would not want me to leave her.....wrong, wrong, wrong again. She went straight into the room and started playing with a little girl that she informed me was named Gracie. I can't tell you how relieved I am that she is adjusting to daycare. Thank you Lord for letting her enjoy it!
P.S. Sorry for the lack of pictures............it's been a crazy few days.
