Daycare

Abbey went to daycare today by herself for the first time. We visited together one morning last week. We wanted to try everything so that when she really has to go we are all ready. I feel SO blessed and fortunate to have her in this wonderful place. She loved it, did not miss me, and came home happy as a clam. Evidently she knows how to steer a stroller and drive a car, news to me. When I went to explain to her that I was going "bye-bye" she clung on to the play kitchen and began shaking her head NO thinking she was going to have to leave with me. When she found that she was staying and I was going she was fine with that. When I came to get her she was beaming and wearing a train conductor uniform and had a walkie talkie. I am soooooooooo happy that she is happy. Of course I was trying not to cry during the morning as I went to the grocery store, ironed, etc. It will be easier when I am back at school because my first graders take all my attention every moment, but I know she will be on my mind still every minute we are apart. She is so smart, cute, happy, funny, and wonderful to be with. I love her so much!
Oh, and she learned the sign for apple at snack time.
