Anybody else think it is weird

to drop your kid off with strangers?

Eden went to backup daycare for the first time today. It's choking me up a little and I'm not quite sure why. I went during lunch to check on her, and she was completely uninterested in me. A softspoken "teacher" was reading a book and she was actually sort of paying attention. (In between trying to grab the book, presumably so she could eat it). The teacher said they've been commenting that even though Eden is the only one who's never been in daycare, she's the only one who actually gets it... she's been an angel, apparently. She slept for them, ate well for them, and from what I could see she was playing hard too. (NEW TOYS! BABIES!)

But that doesn't change the fact that it is really really strange to have people I don't know in charge of my baby. And it's also really strange that it's not strange, it's perfectly acceptable. WEIRD.

Yeah, it gets even weirder when you don't even feel strange dropping them off at day care.

Yes...it is a bit strange! But strange isn't necessarily bad...it's just different. Glad Eden did awesome!
