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.
