first day tragedy
So ... I drop Lucy off at daycare at 8am. I stick around for awhile, expressing my anxiety about this loft play area they have. I said, she'll go up these steps all day but she doesn't know how to go down. I said, I have been worried about these steps since last week. I said, she will need to learn ... I left her at daycare at 8:15, at 8:45 they called, "Lucy was 'pushed' off the loft and hit her head on the floor, she has a big gooseegg, a swollen lip and she is acting sleepy, you should come get her" ... It took me 20 minutes to get there, it felt like 3 hours. I was so sad the whole time, Lucy was hurt and she didn't know the people who were there to comfort her. I was a mess. I yelled at every red light, "you stupid light, the cosmos is keeping me from my child" ... I was a bit dramatic. When I arrived she was snuggled up with the teacher eating an apple. Her head/face looked better then I expected. By the time we got home she showed no signs of being tired or anything. On the doctors advice I just kept an eye on her and she seemed fine. We'll try again tomorrow, but I am definately not feeling any more confident.
