Addie is officially done with daycare!!! I will say although I am very, very excited to be able to stay at home with her next year, leaving daycare is a little bittersweet. We were so lucky to have such a wonderful experience at the Goddard School of Chesapeake. We absolutely loved her teachers, the office staff, and all of the kids there. The daycare was like a family and they treated all of the kids like their own. They always made Eric and I feel very comfortable leaving her there, even those first couple days when as any parent knows it is extremely difficult. Her teachers sent us pictures throughout the day and recorded memorable moments on her daily report so that Eric and I could feel included in her day. Addie loved playing outside, singing and dancing with her friends at circle time, and of course snack time! She learned so much and hit so many milestones while she was there too, from sitting up, to walking, to sign language. I've been very impressed with the variety of learning experiences Addie had on a daily basis while she was there. She learned how to wash and dry her hands all by herself, throw her trash away, and even stand in line.
On Addie's last day, there were lots of hugs and smiles and we were even given a portfolio of special pictures, comments, and art work from every month that she was there. Addie will spend the next 3 weeks hanging out with her Aunt Krissy and then come the middle of June I cannot wait to start a new chapter in mommy world and spend every day with my sweet Addie girl!
