Parenting after 35

so the babe is at daycare

We're doing 2 hours today. So far so good--for me, that is. I have no doubt she is doing just fine! Just a few tears (me again), and I go back to get her in about an hour. Breathe in, breathe out...

Re: so the babe is at daycare

  • Use the hour to take a long, luxurious shower without listening for a baby crying in the next room, dry your hair, take your time dressing, and enjoy the quiet (easier said than done, I know, but worth the effort).

    Definately this! Think how much fun she is having and how happy she will be when you pick her up!

    Ditto pps.  And think about how much fun she is having!  Babies LOVE watching other kids.

  • You're doing great. So true, babies really do love watching other kids. Very stimulating! You might have a very tired baby tonight. ;-)

  • Thanks everyone! I *didn't* quite pamper myself while she was away but I enjoyed a whole latte while it was still hot! (don't think I've had a full cup of hot coffee on my whole maternity leave)

    Mallory did great. She slept most of the time, and when I went to pick her up, she was out on a buggy ride at the park with her class. :) She was totally happy and fine when I picked her up, and I feel a lot less traumatized knowing it went so well!

    Tomorrow she goes for 4 hours and I think I'm going to get a massage.

  • Hopefully you made it through the day without shedding too many tears. I am hopeful that she loved being around all the other kids!
