Well here we go. It is finally starting to happen. Me, feeling guilty about enrolling my baby in mothers day out. It starts at the end of this month and I have already paid for the entire summer in full back in March. For the first several months after she was born all I had was selfish thoughts such as where did MY time go??!! I wanted nothing more than to do my own thing.
The thought of mothers day out was like an answer to my prayers. I could clean the house, or I could watch a movie from beginning to end with no interruptions, or I could go to the damn grocery store and have an empty basket all to myself...but now that she is older I have learned tricks to occupy her while I clean, and now she is old enough and stable enough to sit in the front of the basket so it is mostly empty. Watching a movie from beginning to end just doesn't seem that important anymore. I love spending time with her. I love that it is me and her all day so that I can love on her and play with her.
I am going to go ahead with it because I think that she would benefit from being around other kids and adults. I have also been told by other moms that it is good to expose them to germs a little at a time rather than all at once. I also feel comfortable because I checked out many programs before I decided on one, and I had a great feeling after meeting the staff and coordinator of the one I chose. I am dreading the heartbreak that will happen the first day I leave my little baby girl with someone I don't even know.
