I love daycare!

Amanda has been in daycare for one month, which also means that I've been back at work for one month. I've read that infants get separation anxiety when they start daycare.  Not my Amanda.  The first day we dropped her off was much more difficult for us than for her.  She didn't even give us a second look as we left the center.  There was not a tear in sight!  I looked for it and all I saw was the back of her head.  She was too anxious to get to know her new friends and surroundings.  I guess it's a good thing that she's not too attached. 

Coming back to work after a 5 month hiatus has not been easy.  All day I kept thinking about Manda and was worried for her.  I called the center a few times a day and visited her once every day that first week.  The caregivers said that she does not like to sleep.  Tell us something we don't know!  Just like at home, we also have a hard time getting her to nap.  She barely takes 2 naps during the day.  At night, she sleeps close to 8 hrs, but wakes up quite often sometimes every hour. 

We are slowly adjusting to her new schedule.
