BASTIDS! Stop outbidding my Cashmere!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Em will get used to the new daycare and stop crying "Mommy! Mommy Mommy!" when I drop her off, right? When we go to pick her p, she's playing and happy and seems to love it, and she's just in transition right? She'll stop crying, right?
I hope so. Emmett never did when we switched him from his first daycare to his second. That was 2 1/2 years of him crying when I dropped him off. But he settled down within minutes after I left and he was always playing contentedly when I collected him.

Thanks, David. I can always count on you to bring the reassurance.

What is even happening?
Em will get used to the new daycare and stop crying "Mommy! Mommy Mommy!" when I drop her off, right? When we go to pick her p, she's playing and happy and seems to love it, and she's just in transition right? She'll stop crying, right?Yes! I promise, too. What's important to look at right now is just what you note above--that she's happy and seems to love it, at the end of the day.
Signed, Heartbroken MommyDon't be broken hearted. Be assured that her reluctance for you to leave her in the new place is a testimony to her attachment to you, and proof that your daycare-picking skills are strong, since she seems to miss the old place. Since they are strong, there is no reason at all to believe you haven't chosen well, yet again, and preliminary proof for that is (again) found in the fact that she is happy when you retrieve her, at the end of the day.
You're such a good mother.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Yes Aimee - she will chill soon. I remember both my kids going through that. The day care folks told me that most days the crying stopped as soon as I was out of sight. So frustrating.

Thank you.
Edith called me yesterday to tell me that she started playing as soon as she hit the playroom. Still, I hope she'll stop freaking out when I drop her soon.

One of them I can, but I have no Target close to me now. I think I still might save that one, though. There's only $20 left on it, but that could fulfill a TP emergency if I ever get really, really desperate.

Now tagless for your comfort.
BASTIDS!
I know! I can't understand how some of this used Little Tikes stuff goes for MORE than brand new! *sigh* It's aggravating because I'd have to be online pretty much 24/7 to catch the stuff on craigslist before it sells. This stuff is like gold.
Good Ol' Hec.
Aimee, since she's older and more set in her ways, it may take her longer to get used to the new place. But as long as she's happy when you get there, she's probably fine. Has the daycare provider told you she settles in quickly once you're gone?
It took Owen a few weeks to not cry or cling to me when I started leaving him at Molly's twice a week. But now he doesn't cry at all. Even though he'll sometimes want to cling to me. He pretty much figures I'm coming back.
