I LOVE DAYCARE!

When I was pregnant, deciding what I was going to do with my little one was very time consuming/stressful/awful.  I don't even remember if I ever really wrote about it.  Part of me never wanted to go back to work and just be with Emma everyday.  Then I thought if I could have someone come to the house, that would be great.  Then I thought, no no, daycare is the way to go.  Socialization and not worrying if the Nanny gets sick is best case scenario.

We had visited two daycare places.  In all honesty, I liked the first one and DH liked the second one. We both liked them both, but had initial strong feelings towards opposites.  Surprisingly I decided to go with DH's first.  It didn't work out due to scheduling, so we got to go with my choice in the end and let me tell you, I LOVE MY DAYCARE PROVIDER.  The people there just seem very down to earth and at the same time, so loving and caring.  I feel like they actual LIKE my child.  They tell me great things and tell me when the not so great things happen, like a scratch or if they think I should be giving her more food.  They give me advice when I ask for it, but let me tell them what I want happening.  I LOVE THEM!  The fact that I get a picture from time to time of her during the day always makes me smile as well.

They were even having a party last Friday at school (a day she doesn't go) and called to make sure I didn't want to drop her off because they didn't want to start any fun activities without her.  I politely declined, but they STILL MADE HER A SHIRT!  It may seem stupid and insignificant to some, but it is the world to me.

I hope they know how much I love them. Maybe I'll bring them a treat soon just to help the cause.

Emma is doing great though.  Her tooth is still coming in! It's hard to catch a pic, but I'll try.  She's rolling over more and we are trying to work on sitting up by ourselves.

Daycare is super handy. We both work and there's no one to take care of the kids for a couple of hours every day. It's been tricky, but we've managed to work our schedules out so that I drop them off and she picks them up. It makes life much easier, and I like that our kids get to interact with other children regularly.
