The countdown to daddy daycare begins now. Penny will be with dada at home for a couple of weeks and then start daycare full-time on 10/1. It is called "full-time", but she will start by going for about 4 hours a day (10am to 2pm) and then I will increase my work hours to full-time in a few months. Gone will be the days of sweet innocence, and here will be the days of learning bad habits and getting illnesses from daycare... I have a distinct memory of picking up my baby sister from daycare to find another kid force-feeding her a shoe :(
But, Penny does enjoy getting out of the house. Home is the only place, so far, where she screams out of boredom. She also enjoys watching other babies and kids (especially the ones older than her). So, in the long run, I think that daycare will work out well for everyone. Luckily, I will not be the one dropping her off and saying goodbye in the morning (thanks dada).
One mom-friend told me that once you see how much they enjoy daycare, it helps you to feel less guilty. My hope is that we don't have to feel guilty at all.
