Janie had her first day of daycare, which we’ve been calling school for her. She was so excited to leave with Mommy and put her backpack on with such joy.
She sang in the car during the whole car ride and happily got out if the car and walked to the front door.
We were the first to arrive (on purpose) and we put her stuff away in a cubby labeled with her name. It’s the black one on the top left corner.
Inside, she warmed up to the playroom and went straight for the big bin of balls. Mommy stayed for about 20 minutes as she watched other kids arrive and their parents said “goodbye”. That’s when she started to get the gist was what was about to happen so she stayed close and kept one hand on Mommy’s leg at all times.
Eventually she was able to relax and sit down for breakfast. Slowly the other kids joined her and she was distracted enough for mommy to leave. She cried as soon as she realized Mommy wasn’t coming back and she spent some time in a stroller they had at the house. She even took an early nap in the stroller. I don’t know what she ate for lunch but I do know that she pooped in a potty and had some milk, grapes, and cherry tomatoes. She also didn’t need GG all day.
This is what she looked like when I picked her up. She was happy to see Mommy and had so much to talk about on the way home.
