The Change of Daycares...









So, Ive been dreading this day well for a long while now, but I knew it was coming.
A long story short.... Throughout the journey of searching for the perfect daycare for my lil angel I went to about 15 total places! There were so many to choose from it was very hard to make a decision. We decided we wanted Peyton to go to school with his cousins (Andy's nephew's) at Campbell Christian School in Campbell. Although this is what we wanted, there were no openings at the time. Another school that I actually liked did have openings, and fortunately it was RIGHT next door! I was SO SO scared to start Peyton at Daycare, and yes I cried for about a week. After about one week, I quickly realized I made the best choice! Peyton's teachers are, in one word... Amazing. They care about their babies as if they were their very own children. The care, concern, love and affection that the both of those two teachers have for all the kids is wonderful!!! The day has come......
Yesterday was Peyton's last day at his school, and I was very bummed and stressed about the entire situation. When I went to pick up Peyton yesterday I just knew I was going to cry, but I told myself I need to keep-it-together. When I showed up, Ms. Karin gave me the poster they made for Peyton, it was beautiful- All the babies had their hand prints on it and Peyton's name was inside the Teddy Bear in the middle. All the teachers took the time to sign the poster too. My tears started.. and they didn't stop either. Ms. Karin was crying and telling me that she will really miss Peyton and to please promise to come back to visit! Ms. Maria said her Good-byes to "Papa" (as she calls him) too. Ms. Maria too was crying, telling him she loves him, and to come back soon!
If you've read this much, your probably starting to tear up too. If your a parent, then its probably hitting your heart even more. As you know, its very hard to find teachers or even anyone who cares about your child in the way that Ms. Karin & Ms. Maria do. I will miss them, and I KNOW Peyton will miss them even more!! I can't thank them enough for absolutely loving what they do!!!
The day started....... This morning I dropped off P at his new school, again I feel as if I was starting all over again as I did on March 4, 2009. I explained everything to his new Teacher, telling her everything that P liked and needed...its just so hard to swallow him starting over again.
I know he will be fine, and it'll take him some getting used to.
We will be visiting Ms. Maria and Ms. Karin tomorrow to bring them our usual "Holiday Treat"!!
P and I can't wait to see them!
