One week down

Harper and I survived our first week of daycare and going back to work. She did really well! I was a basket case the first couple days, and of course, she was just fine. The ladies in the nursery just love her! They tell me everyday how happy she is and that she has the cutest smile. She is a darling baby, and she's mine. I feel so blessed to have the happy little family that I do. The first days of school are always interesting, especially viewing the fiasco that ensues when parents are dropping their kids off for their first day of kindergarten. I'm not sure who ends up crying more, the child or their parents! I guess I understand it a little bit better now that I'm a mom. I remember our first day of kindergarten. My mom rolled up to school in our green conversion van, got my sister and I out, walked us to the door, said "goodbye, I love you" and left. I remember being a little put off by this, but she did exactly the right thing. The first day of school should be treated as though you are ripping off a band aid, just do it fast and get it over with! We try and tell parents this with little success. Once the boo-hooing parents are gone, the kids usually have a great time! Oh, the joys of school.
