I am back to work today and due to unavoidable circumstances, I had to put my dear daughter into day care. I went last week and checked on a few places and zeroed in on the first one that we saw. We liked it a lot because it fit in with my hygiene sense and also homely atmosphere. I decided on Bloom and Grow.
Had to start early morning and drop her off to day care by 9.30. But got late and dropped her off around 10.15 am. Hope tomorrow goes better. I had tears in my eyes when I left from there, but I left with a firm mind that I wont cry whatever happens - because this was for her own good that I am not leaving my job.
I would love to spend more time with her and all that, but I would love to set an example for her on being independent and also, I will be able to provide for her better. Moreover she will adapt easily to any circumstances at an early age and also learn to be more social. I have always been an introvert. So I wouldn't want her to be one. I want her to have all the fun in her life. I will still spend time with her in the evenings and we can catch up after she gets out of day care.
Back to the day care story. Apparently Chhavi slept at around 11.30 - later than her normal time. And she woke up around 12.30 after which I went to check up on her and feed her. I was quite satisfied when the owner of her day care center kept me updated on her activities. It was a huge relief for me. She slept again at around 2.30 pm and woke up at 4 pm.
I picked her up around 4.30 pm and like my one of close friends messaged me today morning "Me and Chhavi crossed a major milestone in our life today". Also, thanks to all my friends and family for supporting me through this decision and special special thanks to DH for even allowing me to take this decision and standing by my side through it.
