Heartstrings = pulled. Morgan wins.

I have no idea how people can routinely drop their child(ren) off at daycare when, before they even take their coat off, they're saying I wanna go home...and then screaming. And then clinging. And then REALLY screaming when you have to go to work before you scoop them up and take them home anyway. ::sigh::

Today was my turn to drop Morgan off at her temporary daycare. It was horrendous. All of those things listed above? That was today. Add into it incredible thumb sucking sadness when not screaming and then super serious screaming when she realized her one and only buddy from Mary's wasn't there yet like he was the day before when Adam dropped her off.

Add into that the fact that she had an accident during her nap today which hasn't happened in months and months. Add to that that her clothes were VERY wet when I took them out of the bag to wash them and after only an hour nap at the most, I wonder if she even went before she went down. Another kicker - she was bawling when I picked her up b/c she couldn't find her bunny. Now, I realize she was SUPER tired after having two days of 3 hour naps over the weekend to maybe 1hr naps the past two days, but no one (there were school-aged kids there) was even thinking about helping her (not that she's the only kid alive, but seriously, someone couldn't just point to the dollhouse and say look, there's your bunny?)

Am I worried Morgan was mistreated while she was at this daycare? Absolutely not. Are we very spoiled (or just lucky?) to have an amazing regular daycare provider with a great home who makes us feel like we're walking into Morgan's second house every day we drop her off? Yes Yes Yes. Did Morgan have fun while at the temporary daycare? Yes. Did she cry more the past two days than she has in the past month? Possibly.

Top it off that Morgan's stomach clearly isn't feeling as it should*, she's asked to eat immediately upon arriving home every day b/c she's hungry**, and again, the horrendous feeling of leaving and picking her up with tears and boogers streaming down her face? And today was her last day at the new temporary third back up daycare. We are blessed to have a last minute wonderful option while Adam is on travel and I'm without any extra leave time as the baby will need it more than my sad sad big girl so thankfully, I will be able to sleep tonight knowing that Morgan might cry in the morning but will be comfortable from there on after until I pick her up to go listen to her sister's heartbeat for my 35 week appointment.

*A trip to the bathroom let me know this one
**She's asked for a banana, food, anything when she gets home b/c she's SOOO hungry - this almost never happens from Mary's house

Ok - I need to be done so I can get some sleep. Thankfully tomorrow will be good, the rest of the week will be good, and then Adam will be home Friday and all will be great. It's just so hard when you love them so much...
