Today was also my first day in our new office. This was an excellent diversion from having left Anelya at school because I couldn't find a flipping thing all day. I LOVE the new office. It has such a different feel to it. I think we will be very happy there.
They called me unsolicited from the daycare after a couple of hours to tell me that Anelya was doing just fine. I thought that was so thoughtful. I was able to get a letter from the doctor so that I can bring her food to daycare instead of her eating their menu, which isn't healthy enough for my crunchy standards. Well, I made it until lunch and then I decided to go see her. I just missed her too much.
From my lunchtime visit
She was very happy when I got there. We sat and played for a few minutes and she came in for several kisses. She has started to come at me with her little open mouth for kisses. Oh I just melt. I picked her up for the day just after 5. She was still very happy. They comented on what an easy and good-natured baby she is. Of COURSE she is!!! She was clearly tired in the car and a little weepy, but once we got home she was talking to the dogs, ate a good dinner and played a little. She was out like a light at 6:30pm and I expect her to sleep through the night, for sure. We shall see though.I hope it will get easier to leave her at daycare. I have to admit, while I hate leaving her, it is really nice to have some taste of my normal life again. For two years my every move has revolved around the adoption process. Now that it is over, it feels so nice to just start a normal life with my daughter.

It does get easier, and yes adult conversation and "normalcy" will be welcome. I used to take E out of "preschool" on my days off, but no more! not usually. It's fun to be at home by myself without have to clean, or feed, or wipe a little one. I do pick her up early, though. btw.. thanks for your previous email. I feel better about the mistake.
Ah, the first day, I cried both times. And yes, I only made it to lunch time too:-) Libby was happy the entire time but the first pictures of Tamar in day care are of a red faced, screaming, bundled up baby the afternoon I first left her. Now we laugh about it though.
Congratulations on making it through day 1!

Daycare IS a bittersweet experience for all involved. I can't decide which is harder - when Miras cries when I leave or when he hardly notices when I walk out the door! In general, he is sad when I leave but doesn't want to stop playing when I arrive to pick him up - so I guess that's a good sign. And he is learning SO much at school too. After a few days away, he'll ask to go back to school to "do art." I just wish he didn't have to go 5 days per week. Boy, Anelya sure is cute - I just LOVE all of the photos of her.
