Leaving my daughter at the day-care.

I had always been contemplating the idea of leaving my daughter at the daycare, but wasn't sure how she would manage? It started getting really tuff for me at home to manage everything when you have a lil one running around the house and pulling down almost everything . Even though I wanted to enjoy all this but there's so much to do. So finally I started leaving her in a day care , to my surprise she didn't cry much and she had adjusted quite well. I came home hoping to do the list of chores that I had written for myself but all I did was sit on the couch and relax.. it gave me emmense pleasure to sit and drink my cup of coffee really slow, to see the house neat and clean and to know " how much I loved my daughter" yess that feeling of me missing her and thinking of her in her absence was beautiful. It also gave me a time to reflect on how I want to train my lil girl, to make her self dependant, to have choices of her own and the fact that I should not take her for granted. Keeping aside all the naughtiness,she's just a wonderful girl. Sometimes parents only look at what their children don't do and in that moment they miss the million little things that they do.. sometimes we are just too protective. we all should learn to have a little "ME" time, time to think, time to relax, time to go slow,time to ask God how I can be a better mom each day. and so when she came back home... ohhh the hugs and kisses, they were more sweeter than it has ever been..

My daughter likes playing with other children a lot, since we are alone most of the day, I just thought I'll drop her to the daycare and see if she enjoys it or not. Then I realised she used to be cranky coz she gets bored at home. So it's good now , for the three to four hours that she is there, she plays a lot with her friends and then back to me :) p
