It's a LOVE/HATE Relationship

I love Jade's daycare. I don't love that I have to be away from her every day, but leaving her with people who take good care of her makes it much easier. I think it's safe to say Jade is a "teachers pet" kind of girl. I shouldn't be surprised...I was the same way. Lately, she even fusses for a minute when i get there to pick her up...like she doesnt want to leave. OUCH:) So, yes, her teachers are great and I love that she gets to play and learn with other kiddos. That's the LOVE part of the daycare relationship. The HATE part...germs! It's inevitable, any daycare mom will agree. Jade has had more than her fair share of colds, sore throats and ear aches. I've been told that the illnesses become fewer and fewer as she gets older and that she's building up a "great immune system." That will be wonderful...when we get there! For now, it is NO FUN! I know the sore throats and ear aches don't last long and we quickly feel better. But, when you're in the thick of it...you would do just about anything to take the pain away and help them feel comfortable. until then...i will stay focused on that "great immune system" she's building. It will be here...eventually.
