Aurelia is completing her first week of daycare,today. She has done really well. She cried a little for the first time this morning when I dropped her off. I just had to keep going so that the girls could get her distracted. *sniff*
Yesterday,I felt like I was the one with separation anxiety. I just couldn’t concentrate,and it was all I could do to stay at my desk for a few hours and not run over there to pick her up again. This week has been the first that I didn’t take Wednesday off for “mommy day,”and I am feeling kind of icky about it. I hope that after my exams in the next few weeks that I will be able to resume that habit for the rest of the summer. Perhaps this semester,I’ll go hang out with her between classes or between work and class. Parents often go have lunch with their kiddos at Baby Gator,so it will be something like that.
Yesterday afternoon,we went to Manatee Springs to swim and walk around with my lab group. We had a really good time,even though the water was super cold (~70 degrees all year). The water was very blue and clear and pretty,and Marcus enjoyed it a lot. I get wigged out be swimming with fish,so I didn’t stay in very much,but I did brave it out when there were more people in the water. The springs feel really good in the summer when the air temperature is in the mid-90′s. Last night,it was only about 80,so we were a little chilly. After a picnic of Sonny’s barbecue,we headed back to G’ville. Aurelia had a good time. She splashed in the water and enjoyed being passed around,as always. She zonked out in the car on the way home and didn’t even wake up when I shifted her to her bed.
