Last Day of School!

Today is sad day, it's Rylee's last day of daycare! I have really come to love her daycare and I think she has too. It has given her opportunity to learn and grow in ways that she doesn't get from being home alone with her momma. For instance, independence (although I think she comes by that naturally) and developing her social skills by being around other kids her age. She also gets to play with way cooler toys! They have a great outdoor playground with castles, slides, and sandboxes. And indoors they have painting, montessori learning toys, another slide, and so much more! 

I hope, I hope, I hope she can get back into the same daycare if we come back next year for Sevio's fourth year.

Compare & Contrast

Picture on the left is Rylee's second day of school. Picture on the right is today, her last day of school. There is 5 months between, her hair is longer and she's a little bit taller, but as you can see...she's wearing the SAME onsie...haha my tiny little peanut!

Off To Daycare

This is Rylee leaving the house for her second day of daycare!!

I know she's such a big girl and don't worry its not full time its only one day a week.

We learned that the Government provides a childcare subsidy for low income families (awesome!!) so we've decided to take advantage of it so that I can potentially get a part-time job and get a day to do errands or projects baby free. So Thursday are our day, Rylee gets to socialize and play and gain a little independence while daddy is in class all day and I clean house, grocery shop, sit in solitude, and look for a job. 

I look forward to this day so much, I love my girl but I think every parent needs a break once in awhile. I wouldn't change my life for anything but I have learned parenting can be exhausting, very time consuming, and even frustrating so I believe quite strongly that its healthy to have a day to myself, for me and for Rylee. She's out developing social skills, learning how to interact and play while I'm getting a chance to catch my breath, recoup, and refocus so I can be more attentive and loving to her needs. And I tell you in just one day, her absence makes my heart grow stronger. There's nothing like coming to pick her up and seeing her whole face light up as she sees me and immediately stops what shes doing to come see me....she melts my heart!
