Grace starts home care

Grace's day care days are over for now. We've had a lot of ups and downs with Grace's day care and have been looking for other options for over a month. We had a great experience with the day care the first three months, but things have gone downhill since the beginning of the year. So we decided not to send Grace back to that day care center. I have mixed emotions about it because I really will miss the other kids and their parents. These adorable kiddos are Grace's very first friends, and I've gotten to be friends with many of the parents. I hope to stay in touch and am giving serious thought to starting a play group. But I digress...today Grace spent her first day with a wonderful stay-at-home Mom who lives close to us. She has a sweet 2-year old girl, and we're excited about this new arrangement. Grace will have a short commute now and will get one-on-one attention and lots of love. We're thrilled!

I will definitely miss visiting Grace at lunchtime, which I was able to do almost everyday when she was at the day care center. But at least now my mind will be more at ease, and I won't worry quite as much. I must say that I'll always worry. In my almost nine months as a Mom, I find that there are two constant emotions --- unconditional love and worry! I just want to do what's best for Grace, and I want to know that she's safe and happy everyday while I'm at work. I'm hopeful that this new situation will be a positive change for all of us.
