Thankfully, this was not a hard step for me! Her first day of school was today. She went into the infant room...and I went into the Preschool room. My room (Pre-K) is not open just yet. We just opened the doors to children on Monday, so we are filling up daily and will be in full swing soon.
I dropped her off in her room at 8:30 am. I got her settled and went on my merry way. She was dressed like a baby doll. She is my baby doll :) I got to nurse her at 10:30 am, which was wonderful. Little did I know I was supposed to clock out to do so...annoying. Super annoying. Being paid hourly just sucks...there's no if, an's, or butt's about it. I am already excited for a salary job. (that's sad to be able to admit that already!) Anyways...so that was a hiccup.
She was smiley and happy and met a new friend, Calvin. She melted the teacher's hearts- duh, what do you expect?? She took a 5 minute cat nap and a 45 min solid nap. Then she got some gas. Poor baby was screaming bloody murder. The only other time I've heard that scream was after her shots. Ugh. It's heart wrenching. I despise that sound. Goof on the teachers was that they didn't burp her after I nursed. I told them what to do and how to do it. I also told them they'd be "in trouble" with Addison if they did not get a burp. Sadly, I could not burp my princess b/c I had to be in my classroom for a parent tour. Of course, the family was 45 minutes late...don't mind my rushing to feed you Addie. I blame it on others!
We left a little stressed. Nobody is to blame...it was just a tough scenario. Although, I do believe that anyone who is used to infants would exhaust all other options before stuffing a baby with a bottle. Mind you it was 30 minutes early- unlike her, it was half formula b/c we've started weening her off the breast (terribly sad)- she is still unsure of this process, but has adjusted outstandingly. So, leaving 3 oz left in her 5 oz bottle is uncharacteristically Addie. The skin around her eyes was purple from crying.
Thankfully, I was right around the corner, got off work early, and spoiled this little girl rotten the rest of the day.
