Anyway. We had ROwyn's second day of daycare today. I wavered back and forth on whether or not to pick her up earlier or to send her for the day. After speaking with the administrator, he reassured me that sending her for the day would be the best thing for her. We also addressed the hearing aid issue - Don't take them out! and the water issue. I felt much more confident with her staying the day after our discussion.
As soon as we got into school she started to cry. I stayed for a couple of minutes thinking this would calm her down but it didn't work. She wouldn't even let me put her on the floor even if I was sitting down with her. I ended up passing her off to one of the teachers and waved bye and left. My heart broke a little.
I waited three hours before I called to check up on her. I thought 3 hours was pretty good. It was 12:30. Rowyn had eaten lunch (yummy strained green beans) and had her milk and was getting ready for a nap. She had started to interact with the kids and her environment and was generally having an ok time. No tears. I wished the teacher luck with getting her down for a nap and said I'd see her at 4:00.
When I picked Rowyn up she was crying - but the teacher said it just started. Rowyn was happy to see me and was told she had over an hour nap. YAY Princess! She had finished the rest of her food in her lunch bag and had an overall great day.
WOW am I relieved. I'm so elated that she was able to have some fun today and not be totally traumatized. I'm sure there will be rough days in there that are yet to come, but I feel more confident that we can handle this and get through it.
When we got home, Rowyn was a whirl wind of excitement. She did laps around the kitchen with her new ball and had a blast with Khaos. She was very happy to be at home and I was so happy she was at home.
Here is Rowyn's first report card from Daycare. She'll get one of these every day.
Bo-Bo has a new friend in the group. Ruben has now joined the Soloy household and has become a Rowyn favourite. She just LOVES Ruben. She'll go get him if we ask her "Where's Ruben?" and she'll give him a BIG hug and kiss and then proceed to lie on him, to jump on him, to roll on him and have a great time.
Daddy even enjoys hangin' out with Ruben! Ruben sure is a kool dude!
Here's a typical Rowyn pose. "Where'd it go Mama?" Like her cute outfit! She looks like such a toddler now. No more baby.

Glad to see her second day went better. Once she makes more friends, she'll want to go to daycare.
