First Day at Patrick Wade Child Development Center

Today was Annmarie's first day at a Day Care.  Mommy picked out a brand new one just for you! You were pretty scared and not happy with me when I left you. I went back to peek in and drop off your blankey and you were still crying. Mommy couldn't help but say to heck with being on time. I stayed and rocked you for a while to calm you down. Man, it was heart breaking. There were no other babies in your room, so you were lonely too. Then, after about a half hour more, Mommy tired to leave again, and you got upset again. Mommy likes the place because it was very clean, but the color schemes are not very kid friendly. Everything is beige and light brown. Mommy thinks things need to be bright and cheery with lots of primary colors. Mommy loves that there are 50+ cameras in the building. From the lobby you can check in on every room at the same time. There are monitors all over the lobby. Mommy found the baby girl's monitor right off. On Wednesday, Mommy will hopefully be able to find out how to go online and check in on the girl anytime! Mommy left work early to come back and pick you up. She couldn't stand that you were having a rough day. When Mommy arrived at the center, she discovered they moved you to a room with other babies! You were playing and making friends. You did nap a lot more than normal today so we will see if you sleep through the night. You are also getting used to the new bedtime. Mommy likes the later bedtime because she gets to spend more time with you. As a special treat, Mommy took you outside for a walk and then blew bubbles for you!
