Last week Sadie started nursery school. Its been a big adjustment for all of us. Her nursery school is only a block away and many of the kids in her class live in our building or buildings near by and we see them on the playgrounds too. We debated the classic childcare question; nanny or nursery school and opted for the nursery school because Sadie will be socializing, get to know the local kids and parents and the cost was better than a nanny.
However now that she's started we're not sure we made the right choice. Sadie does great during the day but its a long day five days a week to be away from us. We've only had her 3 months. Its really painful to drop her off in the morning and see her face crumble when she realizes we're leaving. Today she woke up sniffling so we were torn; who stays home from work? Should she go to school anyway? We ended up taking her to school and telling them she had the sniffles and to keep an eye on her. We called during the day to check in on her and she was fine. But still, if Sadie is sick I'd rather she be at home than in a classroom with 12 other kids who all have their own needs and only 3 care givers.
We'll see how the next couple of weeks go.
