Friday, when I picked up Reilly from her last day at daycare, I was presented with this lovely going away card from Reilly's friends and teachers. (Actual size 24 inches by 18 inches.)
I remember how hard it was to decide whether to send Reilly to daycare or to get a nanny for her. I feel so fortunate that we were able to get our daughter into this exceptional facility, and I am sad that she will be losing the friendships she has created with her little friends. I am also sorry that she will no longer see Shawneeka, Joyce, and Jenya, who were such wonderful teachers and surrogate parents for Reilly. Reilly truly loved her primary caregiver, Jenya, and I know that the opposite was also true.
In the end, though, it is better to feel sad. The fact that it was hard to say goodbye to FedKids only shows how much we cared for the people who ran the daycare. Reilly will quickly forget them--such is the memory of a one-year-old, but nevertheless, they will be missed.
