daycare has begun

Monday was Bella's first day at daycare - It was bittersweet. I was a bit scared to take her because the surrounding school was closed due to the flu, but it turned out just fine (and the suspected flu was not confirmed). I cried on the way...which wasn't long since it's just 3 streets over. Bella was okay there and comfortable in her own Pack 'n Play (that Matt set up that morning). I spent a bit of time chatting then said goodbye to her. It's really not all that dramatic at the moment. I then drove to Target and walked up and down all the isles getting everything that I needed, really, everything...not just half of what I meant to get. Of course I missed Bella but also enjoyed the time without fretting about a potential baby break-down. I drove home and took a long, much-needed shower and drove right back over to pick her up. She was sound asleep in the swing so that was good! I'm sure she's picking up Spanish, much faster than I am. She's also very clean as they like to give her a bath a day. She has to wear socks while there - it's a rule. They can't wait for her hair to grow so that they can put it in little pig-tails!
