Bottles of milk labeled and dated? Check. Diapers and wipes labeled? Check. Names in all the clothes? Check. Gas medicine and pacis labeled? Check. First day of daycare clothes layed out?Check. Mom whose ready to drop her baby off at daycare for the first time? UNCHECK!
Tomorrow, Monday March 3, I will be taking Max Milligan to her first day of daycare. It will only be for half a day b/c, let's face it, I am freaking out! But, alas, I have to go back to work on Wednesday so I thought it might be a good idea to take her half days on Monday and Tuesday to get used to the idea. Me, get used to the idea not her. I am sure she is going to be just fine. I have no doubts except for the fact that only I can take care of my baby appropriately. Right? I sure do hope that all mothers feel this way and that I am not the only crazy one.
Reminds me of the summer when mama took us to Camp Chandler over in Wetumpka, Alabama for the first time. She dropped us off at our cabins and after a tearful goodbye (her not us) she left. Now I guess Jeff, the camp director, had seen her kind before , because by the time she got to the highway, turned the car around and headed back to get us, Jeff had had time to sprint up to the front gate and was sitting there waiting on her. He assured her we would be fine and that he would see her again in a week. She left and Jay and I had the time of our lives!
I know that Max Milligan is going to be great and the ladies are going to fall in love with her but that still doesn't help me prepare. How do you prepare? It's hard for me to go out for the evening and leave her with her own grandparents. I am just praying that God will give me strength to get through this.
