This week has been an emotional one for me as Carter has started daycare.  With the doctor’s paperwork being ready on Monday he was ready to start on Tuesday.  The waterworks began for me on Monday afternoon.  Each time I thought about having to drop Carter off with people I had only met once I teared up.  I wasn’t ready – how do you get yourself ready for this?  I didn’t want someone else having all the time with him that I have been eating up for the last 5 months.  Tuesday morning came and Russell had mentioned that I should take my time, but it still was inevitable and around 10:45 we headed to Celebree.  I cried on the way there while telling Carter that he was going to have so much fun and meet some new friends.  Having composed myself by the time we arrived at the center we proceeded in.  The moment I stepped over the threshold of his classroom I began to cry.  The teachers were kind and reassured me they would take care of him.  Carter went to them easily and was happy to sit in their exersaucer and play.  I dried my tears and left knowing they would take care of him, he would be happy, and I would eventually be o.k.  Now four days later it is much easier than that first day, but I still miss our play days together and seeing his smiling face when I pick him up is easily the highlight of my day!
