Thoughts on Daycare

Yesterday when I went to pick Bea up from her second day of daycare, er, I mean school she was sitting on Mary's lap playing with some toy. She dropped the toy and a little boy, Aiden, who had been almost waiting for her to drop it, quickly picked it up and handed it to her. She smiled at him and went on playing. Cute picture right? But it made me sad because she didn't even notice me! There was so much going on that she didn't even see me come in. And it sort of only registered to her when she was in my arms! I'm sad about that. But then again, I'm not. I don't want her to be upset all day long looking and waiting for me to come. And I know once she gets older and her awareness broadens she'll notice me sooner. I just felt kind of left out. I guess I better get used to it right?

In a way that is a good thing because she has a sense of security but I know what you mean. I feel like I can leave Adam with anyone & he wouldn't even miss me, maybe that attachment comes later? I do know that when I come home and he has the biggest smile for me, it completely makes my day.

aww, it just means she's happy, content and having fun! It's good that she doesn't notice you right away so you can see how she is interacting with the others. At least she's not screaming her head off and peeing her pants when you leave her - well, she might be peeing her pants...
