The daycarecenter

Friday,I went to the daycare center where my baby will stay while Robbert and I are working. My mom managed Pre-school and a daycare center in Suriname for five years
so she knows a thing or two about daycare centers.She gave me a checklist and she said Of course the first impressions are very important especially in the case of a childcare.

The daycare center is located in "Handsome bay" here in Virgin Gorda, a very promising
sounded name for a neighborhood,and Yes,I had a good feeling when I arrived there.

My moms checklist:

The ladies were friendly
The toddlers there looked happy and healthy
The bigger children were playing outside,
and they were guided by one of the ladies
The playroom was clean.
The babies were sleeping.


Still I was very nervous today when Robbert and I brought Facienne to the daycare.
As I said in my previous blog,I wasn't sure how she would do with
the solid food she now had to eat,and would she cry,the whole day?
How much food should I put in her bag.It was so easy with the breastfeeding
I knew exactly when Facienne wanted to be fed,and I also knew when she had enough.
She just stopped when both breast were "empty" and smiled.
Now it was a sort of guessing game.

Well I just put all the food and fruit I taught she needed throughout the day.
I was thinking about Facienne the whole day,at my job.
Finally after work,Robbert picked me up after work and we went to get Facienne
from the daycare. My heart was pounding when we arrived,how did she do?

Luckily everything was fine when we arrived at the daycare.
She started crying when she saw us,but I wasn't worried,because I know
that some babies cry out of gladness,when they see their parents.
The ladies said she behaved very good for the first day,she played
and didn't cried at all.

Thank God
