How things have changed!

My, my, how things have changed.

When I first started taking Julia to daycare a year ago, she would cry every morning when I dropped her off. She did not want me to leave her there. It is a good daycare and she did seem to enjoy it once she got over the initial drop off. But it just tore my heart out that every morning for MONTHS she would cry for me when dropping her off.

She eventually got to the point that she was okay with me leaving her there as long as one of the caregivers was holding her.

Then it happened......

One day this week I was dropping her off and the other kids were starting an activity. I took her coat off and off she went to join in on the fun. No good-bye, not even a look back! I was left standing there waiting for my hug and kiss good-bye. The caregiver actually had to tell Julia to go tell mommy goodbye. Sniff... It is only a matter of time until she will not even want to do that.

What an independent little girl she is turning out to be!
