Daycare

I have a love/hate relationship with daycare. I love it because it provides learning and social skills that the girls can't get at home. It provides a sense of independence, self confidence & routine. But on the other hand.. I just can't hardly face the fact that my baby has to go! I know it's good for her but right now, in the beginning, it's so hard to let her go! It's also been hard for her to let me go the last 2 times I've dropped her off :( She's clung to me like a little monkey & just cries! I know, previously working in daycare myself, that it takes a good 2-3 weeks to get used to being left by mom. 2-3 months from now she won't be looking back! I wish I could just win the lotto & stay home with her until she starts school (Kinley too but she's starting this year- OMG a whole notha story)! 

We are in a weird phase right now of getting her on to solids full time & making the transition to milk. She is the only one in her class who eats from a jar & on a bottle. She only has 2 teeth tho so I haven't been pushing the solids. She's been eating carrots, peas, green beans & little things like that pretty well. But they are serving chicken nuggets and such (cut up of course) to the babies in her room & I am a little behind I guess with the whole solids thing. I just want her to be little forever I guess ;) 

This was me peeking in on her first day. Someone else feeding her.. what??? 

I can't complain too much tho. We were lucky enough to NOT send her when she was 8 weeks old! My mom kept her from 8 weeks till now, almost 11 months old. I think I would have lost it had she gone at 8 weeks. Thanks mom for all the hard work (with both girls)!!! We wouldn't know what to do without you!
