Today is my son's first day back in daycare. It's an adjustment for him and for us. I am feeling guilty and emotional.. wondering why this is so hard for me. I know there is no other choice - we don't have a caregiver who can take care of him and going back to daycare seems to be our only choice at this time.

Fortunately my husband said he did great when he dropped him off. He did not cry and he went straight to playing with toys.

I telephoned the daycare during midday and found that he cried the whole morning. This did not make me feel any better. I felt anxious all morning and sure enough, I knew that he was feeling the same way.

I know the next couple of days or weeks will be difficult. And I hope that he adjusts well.
