She Cried

Today.

When I dropped her off at daycare.

This is the first time that E cried when I left her.

I've been waiting for this day and dreading it too. I think it's a big deal that she realized I was leaving.

There's a new caregiver in the room so that may have been part of it. I like that she'll miss me this one day we're apart. I know I miss her and her sister on these Thursdays that are mine. It's funny how much I anticipate my Thursdays "off," that when the day comes, I'm ready/not ready to be without them.

Anyway, she cried. But then was fine with a little cuddle from her familiar teachers. [Mama knows because I waited outside the door].
