First Day of School

Yesterday was Elsa's first day at her new daycare. She has been with her wonderful sitter, Diane, since she was 3 months old. It was a wonderful environment where she has truly thrived and excelled in a loving warm home. 

I'm not going to lie when I say I have reservations about a more institutionalized type of care. Unfortunately, at this time we didn't have a whole lot of other options. We picked a center that is convienent and that we felt comfortable about the level of care she would receive. While she had a great day according to her new teacher I was a mess. I worried if she would feel welcomed, would she adjust to the schedule, would she take a nap in a room full of other kids and would she miss us or cry? She did fine, she only cried when she saw other kids playing outside but they couldn't go outside. All in all it appears she will adjust just fine. Day two is tomorrow. Hopefully it will be just as successful as day one.
