Mommy has been wanting to go back to work but she was never able to figure out what to do with me. She didn't like the idea of a daycare and it's hard to find a nanny just for two days a week. So, last spring she enrolled me in a Mother's Day Out program. While I'm there, she is going to start her own private speech therapy business. I don't know why I wasn't consulted in all these decisions being made. I had no idea what was in store for me . . .
With the exception of the day I was born, today was the most traumatic day of my life. Mommy and Daddy had been really nervous about today (now I know why) and felt sorry for my poor teachers (that part I don't understand). My teachers Mrs. Jennifer and Mrs. Jennifer (it's unlikely I'll get their names wrong) were really nice when they greeted us this morning, but the next thing I knew Mommy and Daddy just LEFT ME THERE . . . FOR THE WHOLE DAY! I was really upset, but still ate all of my lunch and even took a nap there. Later in the afternoon they told Mommy that I did well, but I know the real story. Despite all the tears I kind of had a good time there, but I just hate being away from my folks. Hopefully that "school" thing is just a one time deal.
Do you like my new lunchbox?
Mrs. Jennifers
Don't leave me here!
Ready to go home in the afternoon (where are my shorts from this morning?)
