At the same time, I'm sure that you picked a great pre-school for her. My son's been going to daycare since he was three months old and both choices I made regarding daycare were great. (My first daycare closed due to them selling the church). We do have drama from time to time...most recently a bug bite on his eyebrow that had his eye swollen shut...but he learns so much and has made great friends! I'm sure the same will happen with your little one (minus the drama!) I understand that you are worried about her being in a new element.

Your girl is very lucky she was able to get spoiled by abuela in her early years. But you'll see ho she thrives in pre school as well. Thanks for dropping by my blog (Moms at Work). Y si, estamos haciendo muuuuy buen trabajo :> Kicking butt, I'd say. Hi Melanie!! Your girl is very lucky she was able to get spoiled by abuela in her early years.

She’s been lovingly cared for and attended to by my mother. While having family be her caregiver did have some downsides, overall it was the greatest care I could have ever hoped for. She was in the company of family and I knew she was safe. I knew she was hugged, and fed properly, and loved. Really loved." Preach! There is no other care than that of a family member who truly LOVES your kid! But we gotta let them grow up... *unfortunately* ;) Please be sure to post about her first day!
