New Kid Started Today

[DaisyMamma]

Dad went back to work and grandma can't handle it. Mind you, grandma enrolled dcg before dad even started working.
Grandma drops off today, first day, shows up early and as she leaves I say Have a good day! She replies Oh, I will. Good luck. ::
LOL
So far dcg is a good cleaner upper and although she isn't shy at all, she is so far being a good listener and playing pretty well with others. Time will tell.

hopefully she will thrive there with playmates and more to keep her engaged.

You're a professional. You got this.

My new kiddo is having some issues with drop off because he has never been in daycare before. When Mom drops off, he cries when she leaves.

Grandma dropped off yesterday and goes, "Oh, I just know he is going to be so much worse today when I leave because he just loves LaLa."

He didn't bat an eyelash. ::
