First week of day care

Well, I have gone back to work part time. I took the baby on Tuesday for her first day of day care. I told them I would be spending the day. But by the time we got to the middle of the day and she went down for a nap, I figured I was ok heading out. So I picked up lunch for Hubby and myself and headed to work for a few hours.

Wednesday I didn’t work. It was a Buddy day. First thing in the morning we took him to his eye doctor appointment. We found out that he is indeed blind, as we suspected, and that he needs to have both eyes removed and artificial ones inserted. Of course this is going to cost a lot of money, and we just paid for the major surgery on his leg. So, the surgery is going to have to wait a little bit, plus his leg needs time to heal a bit more.

Speaking of his leg, he is still non-weight bearing on it, so I also took him to a rehab appointment that day. Yes, now-a-days they even have rehab for dogs! The lady wanted me to get him re-checked by our vet because he was still not putting weight on it. So, I did that today and he has a fracture in it, a complication of surgery. It looks like next step is a splint. We go tomorrow to see the specialist again.

Today I worked again. We took the baby to day care this morning, and then headed to work. I missed her terribly all day, and I only called and checked on her once. Okay, and our friends checked on her for me too when they dropped off their daughter. We picked her up about 5pm and she was all smiles. There is Ms. Nancy and Ms. Kay in her room and I think both of them are great. I think they are so perfectly suited for their jobs! They are both very quiet spoken and when they do speak they both have calming voices. The baby really likes Ms. Nancy, when we were getting ready to go she kept staring at her and smiling.

We came home, hung out a bit, tried to feed her some cereal (she still doesn’t like it) and then she had a bath and went to bed. She was so tired, she fell asleep eating, that's something she just doesn’t do! So, she went to bed early.

She is going to go back to day care for a while tomorrow. I haven’t gotten my hours in yet for the week since I was running around with Buddy today. And it will make running around with Buddy easier tomorrow as well.

Well, it’s time to move laundry, unload and re-load the dishwasher and watch Grey’s Anatomy!
