Bella and I have been visiting the Day Care that she will be going to the past few weeks so that she could get to know everyone and become familiar with the surroundings before she had to make the big step and stay without me. And of course, from doing the visiting, she picked up a cold. Nothing serious, just a runny nose and kinda fussy. Since there was no fever... and with the approval of her Pediatrician, Bella went to her first day of school today. She didn't cry at all and went straight to her teacher with no hesitation. I was so glad of that. I stayed for just a bit. Since we had made the visit to the Pediatrician, we didn't get there till about 1030. Bella settled in for lunch...and I left in tears. And I told myself that I wouldn't do that. I realized just how much this little girl meant to me when I had to leave the building without her. I called back in an hour and they said that she was doing just fine, playing.
I went to pick Bella up around 4 and she clapped her hands when she saw me. But, seemed happy too! She had even taken an afternoon nap. She waved at everyone on the way out and said her famous multi syllable, 'bye'. I am so glad that today was such a positive experience for her. Its hard to believe that I have been out of work since Feb 15th.....and it is going to be way tough to log back in to my computer on June 9th to resume my work duties.
