Well, the day has come. Today is Carley's first day of "school". I say "school" but it's really day care. If we call it school, Carley gets excited - in theory.
I've prepared her as much as I can. I had hoped she'd get a good night's sleep so she'd be in a good mood, but of course, she didn't get to sleep until 11:15 or 11:30 (I don't know when because by then I was already asleep), then at 2AM she climbed into bed with me. I'm about to wake her up to start this new part of our day. I can only hope that her lack of sleep doesn't result in a meltdown, but if I know my kid, it will.
I've become quite emotional about her starting day care. I can't explain it, and unfortunately I can't control it. I wished to hell I could because people are starting to make fun of me, which has really been hurtful.
I hope she lasts all day long, but if not we'll try again on Friday.
