We made a last minute switch in facilities, (due to several factors that I'm not going to get into on this blog), so I got to be there for the first drop off, so that I could also see the facility and meet the staff, which Beth had done previously.
I think dropping Adele off that morning was probably the toughest thing Beth has done all year (except maybe giving birth). But Beth's a pretty tough chick, and after a few tears, she handled it well.
Beth of course checked up on her during the day and was shocked to learn that Adele had actually slept in her crib! Usually she only sleeps in her crib (bassinet,actually for the time being) at night. And even then, when I wake up in the morning she's usually lying between Beth and I in our bed. (Beth put her there. She didn't get up and crawl in by herself, in case that's what you're thinking.)
We thought it would be a tough transition for her, from spending all day with Mom to spending the day at a daycare with new people who wouldn't be able to hold her all day. But as it turns out, it was a little tougher for Beth to make the adjustment.
I mean, who can focus on work when this baby girl is waiting to be picked up at 5:00?
