Clara did pretty well her first day of daycare. Mama, not so much. I starting blubbering this morning already (well, actually starting last night) when I took her out of her car seat. They welcomed me to stop in during the day or call to check on her. I thought about stopping, but thought that might be worse for myself. I did call in and she was sleeping. She didn't sleep throughout the day as much as she does at home, but I think that's because I had to wake her to leave in the middle of her longest stretch of sleep for the day. I think that threw her off. I think she'll probably adjust as time goes on. She seemed pretty beat when I picked her up. They told me everyone wanted to snuggle her and she was pretty talkative (as usual) and smiley.
Brynn stopped in to see her when she got there this afternoon, but Clara had just fallen asleep, so they brought Clara over to the school-ager room to see Brynn which was really nice.
The caretakers there are super nice and seem like they will be good to work with. I had a hard time again this evening once we all got home together again. It just seems like such a short time to be together each day. We got some good snuggles in before bedtime at least.
Thank you to everyone who was thinking of me today. It meant a lot. I don't know why it seemed so much harder for me this time. I think being home with Clara for longer and having established our nice little routine and time here at home made it more difficult to completely switch things up and not be with her all day all of a sudden. And I was remembering with Brynn we had a little more of a transition; when I went back to work, Dana stayed home with Brynn for a few days and then Grandma Holly was home with her for a few more days before she started at Nancy's, I'm sure it will get better. Hopefully it does, as I was ready to quit my job tonight. :-)
Well, here is a little proof of what a talker she is now. Clara Talking Video
