first day at Day Care!

Last Friday, Tesla went to day care! As you know, up until now, she was with granny at home, or for one day a week went to another house for a nanny-share. But that's with just 1 other baby, and Tesla is definitely interested in playmates now. After some hunting around, miraculously we found the perfect family-run place that is right on my way to work. I can get off at my normal bus stop and drop her off at a house as I walk to work. I relished carrying Tesla in the ergo on my way to work. The ergo is such a cuddly way to hold her, and we looked into each others eyes as we sat on the bus. When I dropped her off, there were 3 other little ones just her age. I could tell Tesla was thrilled as she immediately got on a rocking horse, and never bothered to say good-bye to me, let alone cry. When I picked her up, Karla the caregiver said she did surprisingly fine since she's used to first-timers being a bit needy at first. I think Tesla is so ready for this...and in due time I guess we'll increase day care from 1 day to 2. For now though, granny will still care of Tesla for the other days of the week - their time together is too precious to cut short.

Yes!! So quickly they grow!
But, it's true when people say it gets better and better. You learn to let go of the stage they are in because you see them bloom even more (but blog it all so you have it documented!). So cliche but indeed that's my experience. In a blink it seems, she's a toddler. Yet if it were slower, we might have gone mad during the days when we had no sleep. Even now, she's started waking up in the middle of the night again out of the blue. Our only hope is that's it's another quick stage : )
