Well Bug,
After almost a year of one of your parents taking care of you every day, it’s time to take the next step into the realms of daycare.
It’s a tough thing for us to do, and if we had the financial means to stay home with you every single day, we certainly would. But alas, it is not to be. (Though I fully intend on playing the lottery from this day forward)
I dropped you off this morning for your first trial day, you reached out for me as I left, and I broke a little. Leaving you with a stranger (Though we have done our homework, we didn’t just find her at a bus station) is very unnatural feeling. But I know you will have fun, meet other kids (I hope you’re not beating them up, bruiser), and learn a lot.
It’s only a half day today, so I will be there promply at 12:59 to pick you up. I expect a big smile and a hug when I see you.
You have an afternoon and a full day this week, and then next week is the big one, 5 days in a row while we go to work.
Come on Lucky numbers, we’re counting on you.
Love you sweety…
Dad
