Week 1: Daycare

After 7 amazing months at home with Emily, she's starting daycare. We feel so blessed to have had Aunt Becky and Grammy Peterson help us stretch our time at home with Em this long, but now we must venture out into the unknown world of daycare.

After a long and diligent search this fall, we're pretty confident we found her a good spot at Hope's Daycare. Still that first morning, when we had to kiss her good-bye and leave her in the arms of a stranger, was tough. Very tough. But she endured like a trooper. When we picked her up that afternoon she was in good spirits and got a rave review from Hope. Having been prepared to hear she didn't eat, sleep, or play very much (which we've been told is common) we were thrilled to find that she did in fact eat, sleep and play normally. Apparently she got a little fussy when Hope left the room, but other than that Em was a superstar. Her second day there was equally successful, so hopefully week #2 goes just as smoothly!

Enjoying family time in our backyard :)
