All dressed for daycareI got her bag ready last night: diapers, change of clothes, socks, Desitin, pacifier, a swaddle for nap time, and I prepared her bottles from frozen breast milk. I tried to spend extra quality-kissy-huggy time with her for the past few days to gear up for the dreaded day, but I don't think there is such a thing as gearing up for leaving your child at daycare. It just plain sucks!! There, I said it!
Katelyn's daycare pack
Freezer full of breast milk for daycare!Our drive to daycare was pretty tough. Me and Katelyn's song came on the radio, Coldplay's Viva la Vida, so of course the waterworks started immdeiately. I really debated driving right past the daycare but somehow my car ended up in the parking lot. I cried the whole way through the parking lot and into the building where I was met by other mother's who got teary-eyed just looking at me. They told me it would get easier...
Katelyn all strapped in ready to go...
But she didn't want to go...
And I didn't't want her to go...I'm forcing myself to wait until 12:30 - 1:00 to pick her up...I'll let you know if I last that long!!

Oh my gosh, that was hilarious! I've been thinking about you today. Alex moved up to a new room and I've been bummed out all day because I really liked his teacher. Plus, I'm worried he'll be confused by the change. But I'm not quite as teary-eyed as you, I'm sure!
Oh, that made me tear up! (of course what doesn't these days) I already can't stand the thought of leaving my baby with someone else, is that bad? Anyways, hope you all are doing good :-)
