DAYCARE

[lenamom07]

MY SON THAT IS 16 MONTHS OLD RECENTLY STARTED DAYCARE FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE HAD BEEN WITH ME SINCE THE TIME HE WAS BORN. I NEEDED TO GO BACK TO WORK SO I HAD TO FIND A PLACE FOR HIM TO GO. WELL I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A REALLY HARD TIME WITH IT BUT I DID A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. IT WAS MY MOM WHO WAS WORSE OFF THAN I WAS. I LOVE THE PLACE THAT HE IS GOING TO. THEY HAVE HIM ON A ROUTINE AND THEY MAKE NOTES TO ME OF WHAT HE DID AND HOW HIS DAY WAS. WHICH TO ME HELPED BECAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS STILL APART. IT IS HARD IN SOME WAYS BECAUSE YOU DO FEEL GUILITY AND MAYBE THATS ODD. BUT I LOOK AT IT THAT I SHOULD THANK GOD THAT I WAS ALBE TO STAY WITH HIM AS LONG AS I WAS. HE IS DOING SO GOOD THAT WHEN I DROP HIM OFF HE GOES STRAIGHT TO HIS TEACHER AND TELLS ME BYE. WHEN AT FIRST HE WOULD SCREAM TILL IT RIPPED MY HEART OUT. SO NOW I FEEL BETTER THAT HE LOOKS FORWARD AND LIKE DAYCARE SO I CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT HAVING TO WORK. I AM SURE MANY OF YOU MOMS OUT THERE KNOWS HOW THIS FEELS.
