Today... after 10 weeks of being home with Cora... she had a trial run at daycare for about 4 hours. I had a hair appointment, and Ryan and I decided today would be a good day for Cora to try it out and for the teachers to get to know her. I was hoping Ryan would be able to stay home with her for a bit, but he's just too busy with work... but it worked out.
One of the main teachers, Stacy, was there... she seems very nice and very caring. I know the other teacher, Jess, through another teacher... she wasn't there today, but that's ok. I know Cora is in good hands... it's just me getting used to having her somewhere else. It's simple as that. I know I've done this before... I know the routine... I know she's safe and I know she'll be just fine... It's just one of those things where it doesn't get easier.
Anyway, Stacy said Cora did well... ate pretty well (a little earlier than I wanted), but we'll all get that figured out... and she snoozed for a little bit too. Here at home, we swaddle Cora for naps and bedtime... daycare centers can't swaddle (against the law for them), so she will use a sleep sack. I'm sure Cora will adjust just fine... at least I hope! :)
So after 4 hours, I picked her up and she smiled at me. Just what I wanted. I love her.
She'll go back a couple times next week as well...
