I thought this picture of Baby E was too cute not to post. Mom had to go back to work last week. Boo. So after a week snuggling with Grandma Jules, our funny girl in the heart-shaped glasses is making her daycare debut.
Today, she is spending the day with our beloved La La because it's President's Day and she was kind enough to help us out since Anne (new sitter) couldn't take her until tomorrow. I have to admit it felt natural to drop her off with La La. While we are so happy that La La is starting her new retirement adventure, we are sad that Miss Eastyn will not get to spend more days with this wonderful lady who we love like family. That makes today all the more special for us.
With that being said, we couldn't be happier to have connected with Anne. We're excited to get to know and love her like we have La La. She comes highly, highly recommended by teachers and friends whom we trust. In addition, from the moment that we sat down on her couch last summer for our interview, we just had that "feeling." Those of you who have been blessed to have wonderful child care providers know what I'm talking about... there's a good vibe when you meet and it just fits.
Don't get me wrong, it's never easy to drop the kiddos off for the first time, the second time or the 150th time. I, like every other mommy out there, have days where I question whether I should be at work full-time or part-time or perhaps not at all. I feel blessed that those thoughts have nothing to do with the quality of the people who care for our children while we are at the office. A wise and wonderful man whom I used to work with once told me, "just remember that you are expanding the circle of people who will love your children." What he didn't add was how much we would grow to love those people in return.
So, here's to our funny girl in the heart shaped glasses and the circle of people who love her too!
