Maleah started daycare this past Monday. So far she has been great...I'm not saying that because I'm her mom...I say that because that is a direct quote from the instructors...So the week before I was pumping her up for the whole daycare experience....I told her she would have fun, make friends, and learn lots of things...She probably had no clue what I was talking about in those moments...but when I dropped her off on her first day she was a "G" about it...for those that don't comprehend how Maleah is a "G"...I'll put it another way...she handled it very well...probably better than me...I gave her a kiss, told to have fun, and I told her that I would be back...and her response was, "bye!!!" Like she wanted me to leave...I mean, its not like I wanted her to cry (that would have made it hard for me)...She was ready to play with all the kids (she loves t be around kids)...the second day was the same as the first...she was cheerful and excited to go to daycare...Today was a little different. she was so excited about going "bye-bye" that she didn't want to eat breakfast...so I had to convince her to eat her breakfast...but when we got there. There were two little boys crying...which didn't make Maleah to happy...but she moved on from it by playing with the toys...but then this other little boy comes up and tries to take the house that Maleah was playing with...Maleah got mad and screamed "NO!!!MINE!!!" and the two start pulling the toy house back and forth, away from one another...I intervene and convince Maleah to play with the barn house, so that the boy could play with the other house...Maleah complies...I then give her a kiss and do my whole "good-bye" routine like I had done the previous two days...the difference with today was that when I walked away, Maleah came chasing after me with tears in her eyes...At that moment, the staff members swooped Maleah up to comfort her before I could even think about picking her up...so I gave her another kiss, and I left...heartbroken by all of her tears...but I didn't want to stay because that would have made it worse...so I left feeling very distraught...when I got home I called the daycare to see if she was ok...and she was...but then the girl told me that since today was her last day in daycare for the week, that come Monday, with her being out for four days, that I should be prepared for Maleah to cry again...it's going to rough...
