The house is too quiet. There are no giggles, babbles, or cries to be heard. Today is Mackenzie's first day at daycare and I am feeling a bit guilty for sending her there. I've been away from her before, but only for like 4 hours at the most. This is like 12 hours (an hour there and an hour back). She's only been gone for 25 minutes and I miss my little baby Mac already. Did I cry as I watched Matt drive off with her? Of course I did. I could have gone and dropped her off but like I said before, it takes an hour to get there. I probably wouldn't have let her go in! I am so excited for her to watch and interact with other babies but will the teachers take as good of care as I do? I know they are trained and certified and have lots of experience and I trust them, I really do! It's just hard letting go this early. It will be nice to have some "me" time before school starts in a couple weeks though. Here are some pictures of her before she left. I'll post an update to this entry tonight to let you know how she did.
Bless your heart! This is a struggle that we ALL face. I understand exactly how you feel. Rest assured, I was in daycare all the time when I was little, because my mom was in school. And hey, I turned out just fine. Well.... :-) And just think about that "HEY MOM!" smile you'll get everytime you two are reunited. No matter what, you will always be her favorite. You are such a good mom, Eva. See you soon!
