Yesterday was Lara's first day at day care. She had a shorter first day - I dropped her off at 9.30am and picked her up at 4.30pm. I resisted the urge to call to find out how she was all day and busied myself so time actually went surprisingly fast.
Lara was playing by herself in the corner when I arrived. And when she saw me, she was so happy that she crawled very fast towards me with a huge smile on her face. It turned out that she only slept for 25 minutes in the pram (she wouldn't sleep in the cot, so one of the teachers pushed her in the pram to sleep). She was very tired when she got home - she slept from 5.30pm -7pm (I had to wake her up) and went to bed for the night before 8.30pm (and didn't get up until 8.30 the next morning!). I was also glad to hear that she could hold her own - her teacher said she grabbed a toy back from another kid who took it from her (Cynical Husband thinks maybe all teachers say that to parents so they don't worry so much). She also had her first painting on the wall (the teachers must have done most of it!)
In her communication book, Lara's teacher wrote:
" Lara had a wonderful first day. She played on the mat outdoors with the spinning tops and she shared a see-saw ride with Zane. She seemed to settle in quite comfortably with us and the other children."
My little girl is growing up so fast!!

Congratulations on a successful first day. You are stronger then me!
My computer was registering your entry as done on Friday but it only showed up on Sunday is this correct?
We hope that Lara and you guys have a wonderful 1st Birthday celebratory week!
I think that was because I saved the post on Friday but didn't release it until Sunday.
Are you busy this weekend to come and have some cakes? I'll send you an emil.
