Last week was Samuel's first day at daycare. Up until this point Samuel has been at home with grandparents. We were so lucky but the time has come for him to go to daycare. I spent hours the night before getting everything ready...my pocketbook, my school bag, my lunch, my clothes, the car seat, baby bag, Samuel's clothes, the pump, and the cooler with milk. We got up extra early to make sure we had enough time even though I have been practicing for a week. You know to make sure I could get all of this done and get work on time. The morning went off beautifully. I got ready and got Samuel ready. I got to daycare a little before 7:00. Oh, did I mention that it was pouring down rain and I had to walk through 3 inches of water to get to the car. :) I drove the tenth of a mile to daycare and got out with a heavy heart. I walked in a little excited and a little sad. Keep in mind I had to do all of this by myself. John had to leave for work at 5:30. I walked in to see that Samuel was the first baby in his class to arrive. I unload him and his stuff. I gave all the direction I could think of...like they had never taken care of a baby before. Just as I gave Samuel a kiss goodbye I began to cry. I walked to the car and called John. I am not sure that John even heard anything I said through the tears. I got to school and emailed the center to see how he was doing. I continued to email all day. Needless to say...Samuel did fine. Oh yeah, John picked him up at 1:30. He got off early because of the rain.
I have to say I have made my load smaller. I now leave the pocket book in the car and I dont bring home any work. I never did it anyway. I dont carry a cooler for the milk because I can see the center from my house. I dont think the milk is going to spoil on the 2 minute drive to the center.
