Max spethe tnt the day in daycare while I did my course. The first time I had to drop him off I was terrified! Especially after hearing horror stories and not knowing who will be watching him... or even if they would be watching him! I had this vision of Max being in a corner with the other babies while the careers have smokes outside. I was also a little worried for the carers because Max was a very sick baby and I thought he was going to give them as much hell as he'd given me in the first couple of weeks!
It has surprised me how much things can change. From the first day he was there when I had to visit him at morning tea, lunch and hurry back after class, to now where I mosy back at leisure and even sometimes give myself the luxury of going to the loo (mums will understand this) on the way.
Today when I went to pick Max up he was getting a cuddle from one of the careers. It was such a comforting thing to see I didn't want to take him from her arms. It's also amazing for me that he will be comfortable with other people looking after him. This will come in handy when I return to work.
So.... the moral of the story: There may be bad childcares out there but I'm sure the majority are just as fantastic as the one today.
