I drop off our kids by about 7 am or just past and there are plenty of kids there. Many people here need to commute--it's just how it is. :/<br /><br />But Jackson DOES see the light of day because of daycare he is outside on nice days or enjoying sunlight through the big windows. He is playing and doing activities. I bet you he has a great day. So try not to feel the guilt because trust me, daycare can be really, really wonderful. I know our kids thrive when they're there and get bored when they're home for too long. I love that they do crafts, learn, read books, sing songs, go outside, etc. <br /><br />You have had a crazy year, for sure! And maybe we'll have to grab lunch one day now that you're downtown like the rest of us. ;) We will definitely have to plan some kind of get-together in the new year!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492898465897070415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-70157891871926464482010-12-16T22:25:04.773-05:002010-12-16T22:25:04.773-05:00What a lot of change.

I am looking forward to it getting lighter and more sunshine so that when I get home from work we can go outside and play for a bit.Next in Linehttp://babymakinghusband.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-26677454845775167632010-12-16T20:54:21.367-05:002010-12-16T20:54:21.367-05:00When my friend's daughter turned 1 I started t...When my friend's daughter turned 1 I started to think about the idea of mothers getting awards or a treat for getting their babies (and themselves) through the first year of life. You are incredible because you've gotten Jackson through the first 10 months of his life with the added stress of moving, a new job, etc. Daycare guilt sucks. 5 months later, I still feel it and the only thing that eases my guilt is going to see him every day at lunch. Can you still log online to see him? Weekends have become more exciting for me other than obvious reason (no work). It's totally dedicated to family time and it helps doing that when I only get to hang out with my son for a 1-2 hours after work each day. Hugs to you.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507752533850689577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-74001653299575101582010-12-16T13:53:15.640-05:002010-12-16T13:53:15.640-05:00I feel the same way about daycare!

Congra...Wow, you have been through a LOT this year. Congrats on making it through so many huge changes. <br /><br />The daycare thing is hard when they have to be there all day. I always feel guilty when it's almost dark when I pick them up too. The good news is they usually love daycare once they've settled in. Ian took a while but is now settling in nicely. He hasn't cried at all this week and was excited to go this morning! Doesn't make it easier to be away from them so much, but it's nice to know they're happy there.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518325345447825732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818684193774187893.post-22140175419761946772010-12-16T11:22:45.391-05:002010-12-16T11:22:45.391-05:00This has been a memorable year!
