We've had so many little milestones the past few weeks, just another reminder that my baby is now a little girl. She gave up her final bottle about 1-2 weeks ago. Drippy cups and rubbermaid bottles and the occasional big person cup are all we do now. And she's started to tell us that she's pooping (albeit after the fact, but she makes sure she gets a diaper change right away, as she is quite uncomfortable with a big lump in her diaper. Understandably so!). Most of her little milestones make me happy and a little sad, but today....
Today was Addie's first day in day-care. Her grandparents still take her 3 days a week, but with me working a bit more than before, it just made so much sense to have someone else take her one partial day a week. There is a lady from our church that does daycare in her home and today was Addie's first day. Addie was a wee bit hesitant - until she saw KIDS and then she was totally fine, not a care in the world, just follow the KIDS!! Me on the other hand, I left with a big lump in my throat. I was happy that she gets the opportunity to spend the time with other kids and I knew that she would be fine, but it was still a bit to take in for me.
When I picked her up, Addison was still playing around with KIDS (she loves playing with other children, which was another reason I am happy this is working out!) and was sooooo tired - too much excitement going on with other kids around, no way was she going to take a nap!! We got home about 20 minutes ago and she's been sleeping for about 18 - boy did she crash!! I also have to pack bigger lunches for her - apparently in other people's house she doesn't eat like a bird, she actually has an appetite! So for Day #1, it was a success and I am so glad that it was. Addison likes the caregiver and the kids and she is being well taken care of...still have a little lump in my throat though!

yeah... it's hard to watch them grow bigger and more independent... the first day of Kindergarten was a toughie too. I'll be praying for a good balance for you all.
Awww, I totally know what you're feeling--I had it about 3 weeks ago on Dawson's first day of Kindergarten. Kinda hard to let go, isn't it?
Can so relate, it's good for the kids but so hard on us :(
Its great to hear that daycare went well with her tho, altho I'll be it would have been a bit easier on you if she missed ya more hey ;)
Your at the point int he game where your maybe thinkin it's time for another baby??? heeheeheehee
lol, we're thinking, and may have been a little more serious, but with the new job, I'm thinking maybe towards the end of next year. Don't want them too far apart though!
