Anxiously Awaiting January 15
January 15 is only a few days away. I know it will be a positive experience and it’s the right thing for my family. I’m ready…I guess. What’s happening? Baby Girl starts daycare. I went through this with my son so at least I have the benefit of personal experience. (Yes, I lived to tell about it) My employer provides an on site childcare facility. She’ll be there three days a week and my son is in the preschool program at the same school. I’m on the Parent Board and I have a good relationship with the director. Nonetheless, the questions remain…is this right thing to do? I took an extended maternity leave, she’s six months old, but should I have waited a little longer? Should I look into a nanny? Should I… Like most moms, I strive for balance in my life and like most moms, the health and well-being of my kids is at the foundation. But I don’t want to lose sight of my personal goals. I have a great new opportunity at work that I’m ready to jump into with both feet. Combine the excitement of a new job, mix in the anticipation of my baby starting daycare and the end result is a very anxious mother. But I know I’ll live to tell about this too. 2 comments from 2 users

I know a couple other kids who are my daughter's age (18 months), and they don't go to day care. I have noticed a big difference between those kids and mine. They're nice, but my daughter is so much more flexible and patient with other kids. She seems to be learning how to share really well and ahead of schedule, and she's so comfortable being left with other people besides my husband or myself. I can totally relate to your feelings, however, because I took my daughter to daycare when she was 3 months old. I practically raced out of work every day.Good luck going back to work and I hope you enjoy it!

Like me, you will live to tell about it!  It is so hard at first, but it does get easier.  I started both of my kids at daycare at 4 months old (they are now 3 years old and 5 months old).  I felt so guilty choosing to have a career.  But I do know they are in good hands and they seem to be striving.  Unfortunately my daycare is not as close to my work.  I work in South Sacramento and they are in Land Park so I don't get to visit them often.  That's great that your daycare will be on site!  I'm so jealous!   Enjoy your last few days with your daughter alone and know that she will be in capable hands and you will all benefit!
