We Have a New Teaching Contract!

Wait a minute...that means I have to go back to work bright and early tomorrow morning! (Gasp!) That also means that Isabelle and Madeleine will start full-time daycare bright and early tomorrow morning. (Double gasp!)

We are so lucky to have the most wonderful daycare provider ever. The girls go to a nice cozy house with a beautiful backyard to play in and are loved on all day long by sweet Kelly. I really couldn't ask for anything more. I just have to get used to this new transition since I've been home with the girls for so long.

We've spent several days helping Madeleine get used to going to a new place by only going to daycare for an hour or so and there have definitely been tears. However, I was very glad when I went to pick her up this afternoon that she was playing contentedly in the backyard. I'm sure in a few days it will be smooth sailing. (Knock on wood.)

Now, I better get to bed because my principal emailed and said we would have our first meeting "promptly at 8:00" tomorrow morning. Does anyone know if it's a bad idea to come in late to work after having 5 months off?

And, because I can't post without pictures...

Isabelle has already realized that Mommy is going to need some help in the morning to get out of the house on time.
Isabelle: "Just hold still Maddie, this will only hurt for a minute."
Madeleine: "I don't know about this new routine."
