First Day of Day Care - Hardest Day So Far!!!

Today was the first day I had to bring Ava to day care. It was such a hard morning for me. I cried all morning getting her ready and especially when I put her in the car seat. When I got to Neita's house I didn't even want to go in. I just wanted to bring my baby with me to work. After I finished telling Neita about all of Ava's things I broke down because I knew it was time to say goodbye to her. Neita gave me a big hug and promised me that Ava would have a lot of fun there and that she would be fine while I was gone. I gave Ava a big kiss and told her I loved her. Then I left and cried 45 minutes on my way to work. This is definitely the hardest thing I have had to do, even harder than the 16 hours of labor I went through. I called Neita at noon to check in and she said that Ava was doing wonderful. They had just finished up story time and Ava was very content and happy. It warmed my heart to hear that. I know this is the best thing for Ava to be around other children, but it still is hard on me. She is my little angel and I am having a hard time letting her go. I am hoping tomorrow will be easier for me.
