From my last post you could see that I was having issues with Jenn not wanting to be without me. This was especially tough because this year I decided that Jenn should go to an in-home daycare 2 mornings a week – she has senior kindergarten in the afternoons.
Now before you go shaking your finger at me, let me explain further that two of her friends are also in the same daycare and it is a FUN place. Grandma Judy is the grandma whose house it is at, she used to be a teacher and her day is very organized and fun. Jenn goes there on Tastey Tuesdays (try new foods) and Thirsty Thursdays (try news drinks).
I really think that this is a good idea for Jenn (to gain self-confidence that she will be okay without me around 24/7) and a great idea for me (I get two full days to work and this means I don’t need to work at night or when the kids are around).
Anywhoo
After the last episode with her tearful etc., I had decided that if today went as badly as the last day, I would just keep her home and give up on Grandma Judy days. Low and behold though, Jenn was fine today. Instead of a grown up at the door to greet her, it was one of her friends – i think that helped – and she went in no problem. Go figure.
I have to admit that last night i said a prayer “God, if she has a fit tomorrow I will take it as a sign and keep her home from now on”. So, perhaps today was a sign that it’s okay to have two days to work. I would sure miss the work time… but man or man, Mommy guilt is a stong and powerful thing
