New Kid on the Block

Yesterday and today have been milestone days in Katelyn's life. Yesterday, I put her in a nursery for the first time. I volunteered at my church (Kristi- it was fun!). I'm sure Katelyn did fine, but she had some signs of crying (dried salt near the corner of her eye). That made my heart ache a little. Kristi and Ray's son Reid was with her. At least she had a familiar face. She must have been overstimulated. She was with my parents the 2nd 1/2 of the day and passed out for 3 hours when she usually naps an hour.

Today was a much bigger milestone. She started daycare. This is a natural next step, my parents can't watch her forever. She is attending an in-home daycare twice a week until she starts at her school. I love the daycare and the owner, so that gives me comfort. The owner watches her son, Katelyn and a set of 3 triplet girls. The owner was nice enough to send me a pic of her playing with the triplets. I bet she'll sleep good tonight! This will really be her first playdate. I think she'll do just fine, but we will see.



It was a little different dropping her off somewhere else. I've had a nanny at my house before, but this is a new place for her. I'm a little emotional, but not as much as I thought I'd be. I'm anxious to see how she does overall today. Sweet katelyn...mommy is sending you her love!!!!!
