Updates on Daycare
The third and fourth day of daycare for Sophie has been a bit more challenging.
Yesterday when we arrived, another girl was crying and that affected Sophie who was already a bit shaky. But we quickly brought Sophie out and let her play on the trampoline and that did the trick. She started playing and then said bye quite willingly. Bianca, the daycare teacher took over and we quickly left for class.
However, in the afternoon, Sophie woke up early from her nap and I had to leave class to get her and put her at the daycare. For the previous two days, it was more free and easy and I could stay with her when she woke up from her nap. We also use a baby monitor to check on her so we can get her when she wakes up from her nap. She is normally sleeping in the unit while we are in class.
The Sophie after nap takes a longer time to settle so she cried when I had to leave her at daycare. But the teachers were good at distracting her and then after a while she told them that she wanted to go lie down and rest, so she did! That’s what I like about the daycare, the kids pretty much did whatever they wanted, of course within boundaries. So she laid on the mattress at the daycare until I came to get her about ½ hr later, after class.
Today again she cried when we were about to leave in the morning. But we had to say bye and then leave. The teacher said she settled and then was pretty ok throughout. Another classmate of ours who brought her two year old a little later said her daughter also cried but she said Sophie was ok by then. But as I was leaving with James, I felt so bad and so tempted to go back and just bring Sophie home.
I’m praying that it’ll get better tomorrow!
