Practicing

This morning Waverly and I went to daycare to get everything ready for Monday, her first day! I have all her things packed and delivered, including diapers, wipes, sheets, blankets, 15 bibs, and 6 outfits. That should last about a day (just kidding!).

The daycare we have chosen is really nice. The lady taking care of the infants, Ms. Sandra, is a registered nurse, so Waverly will be in good hands. There is one other young baby there, Madeline, who is six months old, but Waverly will be the youngest until someone new comes along. There are also two little boys in her classroom, too. Poor Ms. Sandra - I have my hands full with one little one!

The daycare center will make sure that not only is Waverly safe and sound, but that she is reaching all her milestones as well. She will get tummy time every day, which makes me really happy because we don't always make time for it.

Both Waverly and I teared up this morning during our visit! She was ready for her first nap of the day, and I was just sad that my maternity leave is nearing its end. I will miss her so much! It was hard just being a couple rooms away from her this morning!

The daycare staff has promised to make this transition as easy as possible for us all. I am allowed to come visit everyday during my lunch to feed Waverly and I can call as many times as I need to to check on her throughout the day.

Here is a picture of Waverly with her Paw, having a bottle and practicing for when she will get to have a lot more bottles at daycare.
