Daycare

Hello all…

I come in peace
Happy New Year and all that good stuff…while I could go on forever with tons of well wishes, the real reason for the post is much heavier…
Baby J starts daycare on Monday and I can’t believe it!!! Prior to enrolling him in daycare, my fiancé and I came up with a pro’s and con’s list:

Pros:
He will be stimulated
He will get to make friends
He will build his social skills
I can stay at work a little later knowing that daycare is open until 6
He will be put on a schedule
It will force me to set up and keep a schedule

Cons:
I will have to wake him up at 6am so that we can start getting ready
I will actually have to plan our outfits out the night before so that I am not late to work
I may be late to work
I can’t call a million times a day like I did when his grandmother was watching him
He might miss me
I may get stuck in traffic
I will miss him
He may be over stimulated and never nap
If he is sick I will have to take off of work

As you can see by our list there are more con’s than pro’s, which would mean that I shouldn’t send him to daycare, but most (all) of the con’s are things that I have to deal with. I know he will be safe…the minute I walked into the center I felt safe and knew that it was the right place for him and more importantly, for me. 

Wish Baby J (me) luck on his first day of daycare 
