First day of daycare

CourtneyR2N

I'm a lot sadder than I thought I would be.  I was fine dropping him off. I love the place I selected and he was happy as a lark when I left.  Then I got to work and started thinking about all of the things I will miss . DS is starting to really smile and play and interact with his surroundings. I want to be the one to play with him and watch him discover his hands and his feet and his toys.

I hate this, I really really hate this.

It starts to get easier. Props to you for not losing it when dropping him off. I didn't have to put DD in daycare and still had a hard time leaving her. My MIL is keeping her. I have been back to work for 2 weeks now and although it's still hard, and I call and check on her all day, it's getting easier. I was the same way though; worrying about missing things really bothers me but it really makes me smile when I go and pick her up and she just smiles and smiles when she sees me. Too bad we can't all be rich and be able to stay at home. That would be the life!!

So sorry hon, it's my DD's first day at daycare too.  We were lucky enough to have DH stay home with her while I came back to work for the last couple of weeks, and that was hard enough for me to leave her. This morning was ROUGH!  Our babes will be OK and we'll be back home with them before we know it!
