Letting go

I've been pretty lucky so far with not having Addie in daycare. Luckily, my work is super flexible and I can switch my hours or days off without any hassle, but now Ryan is going out of town. Since he will be out of town, I will have to Addie in daycare. Half of me is excited because she will have things to play with and interaction with other kids, but the other half is sad and nervous because a complete stranger is watching her. It's like handing my heart over to them and saying, here make sure I live. I know it will be best for her and honestly I don't really have an option for it not.

I talked with a friend and she loves daycare. She says her son is more independent and social, which is fantastic. Depending upon how this daycare works out, will determine if we put her in it once a week so we can have a family day together, which is something I have been missing.

How did you handle putting your little one in daycare?

4 month

Oh Addie, you are 4 months old. This was the first full month that you didn't have momma every day. This month you learned to roll over. The first time you rolled over was 3/23 on the couch and then you finally rolled over on your playmat later that night. It made me so happy and proud. Most roll from belly to back but you rolled from back to belly. The next day you rolled from belly to back and I got it on video. You are growing up way too quick. We have your 4 month doctor's appointment, which unfortunately means shots for you. I am very curious to see how much you have grown.

You love Ellie the elephant and when you wake up you usually roll to your belly which doesn't make you very happy. You have some really bad diaper rash going on right now too and hopefully it will clear up soon. You can pull yourself up to a standing position by holding on to mommas thumbs. You love to chew on your fingers and you still can burp and fart louder than anyone I know.
