Sophia has been doing well, mostly it is me who is having the hard time. I'm focusing on the time when I'm with her, being really present and giving her tons of kisses. I think we are both going to make it. Thanks for the good thoughts! Sophia has been doing well, mostly it is me who is having the hard time.

Plus, there's that working mom guilt that nags at us. Try to keep in mind that Baby Girl is in very good hands. The people that work at daycares like the one she's going to are heavily screened and carefully chosen. They don't make much money, so they have to LOVE kids very much. Your daughter is feeling that love while she's there, and I doubt she ever feels abandoned like your guilt tries to convince you. Plus, she is learning invaluable social skills. Hope this helps. :) There is so much letting go that has to happen when you have daycare kids. Plus, there’s that working mom guilt that nags at us.
