Day Care For You

Well the moment I've been dreading has arrived...Day Care. Gregg is back to work in the office on Monday. I'm on vacation this week. So we decided since we're both still home, this would be the week to wean all three of us on to Day Care. We're at Kindercare; Gregg has done the research and the visits and decided this was the best place for us to go. Everyone's nice; the building is secure, the other kids seem happy--I just hate dropping her off there. Unfortunately, right now is not the time to go to a single earner household. There are still a few thousand dollars of adoption fees left to pay (court and lawyer costs, social worker visits, etc.) and we just can't do the stay at home dad scenario--yet. We'll get there some day soon. So this week we've been taking her for a few hours each day. Starting Monday, I'll be dropping her off in the morning around 7:30, and Papa will pick her up at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Sabrina seems fine with it. We're the ones who aren't happy (especially me). I know it has to be, but well...are you sure none of you guys don't want to drop everything and just come over and watch her?

if it wasn't like the surface of the sun there...

You guys are doing a great job-- and it is beautiful to see you so concerned about her being at daycare-- when, in fact, I am sure she is having a little ol' party every time you leave :)

oh- that breaks my heart! at the end of august, pieces will be joining the ranks of day care... and the mere thought tears me apart. we, too, were going to go w/k'care (loved it), but opted for a center afflilated w/a local hospital (plus a close friend from h.s. is the director)... sigh, i feel for you!!! (where are the pics?!?!)

Aw! If you think this is hard just wait until she goes to kindergarten! I think its great that you guys are so concerned about leaving her during the day. That just shows how much you two love her.
