Charlotte started daycare today and it went better than expected. going by how she went at the creche on Tuesday, i was expecting to hear her screaming on the other end of the phone when i rang to check on her 45 minutes after i left. to my surprise, there was no crying of any sort on the other end of the phone and the educator assured me that she stopped crying after 30 minutes and was taking a nap when i rang. the educator said she fell asleep fairly quickly.
as it is her first day, i decided to pick her up after lunch. she was pretty upset when she saw me and when we got home, she wouldn't let me put her down or be out of her sight. she was so tired, she did another two 1.5 hour naps when we got home.
first day of daycare is hard for both her and me. i feel so bad that she has to start daycare before she turns one but i also know the younger she starts, the easier it is for her to settle in. Gabriel started attending daycare when he was 13 months and it took him awhile to settle in. comparing how they went on their first day at daycare, i think i've made the right decision to start Charlotte young.
