Bye Bye Baby

by Abra Annes Leave a Comment

For two years, I have taken care of Sam almost every day. When she turned one, we got two days of child-care, but even then, there were three days a week that she was mine, all mine. This week we started her pre-school. It is three times a week. And coupled with the two days of childcare, that means I no longer have my Sam. Like, ever.

Independence

by Abra Annes Leave a Comment

Last week a friend told me that she was fired from a daycare after only one day. Apparently her son had “too much separation anxiety.” I felt for her. But my own experience has been so different. Sam can’t wait to get me out the door. “Bye mommy,” she calls when I leave her at the gym daycare, her baby sitters, her grandparents or, most recently at her pre-school.
