Daycare decision made

After many long discussions and a lot of pro and con lists we've made the decision and Lucia will be attending Paideia Academy daycare in October. It was a very hard decision and I'm still worried that we might not have made the right one but I think it is the best choice for us for now. We met an amazing family (the O'Claire's) through the process and their humor, openness and sweet daughter Lilly made this all worth it. I've cried yesterday and today worrying that when we leave her she won't be happy but I have to believe that this will be the best for her. The nanny we met, Maggie would have done a good job with her but I think that in the end, the daycare will give us what we need. It is only a 5 minute walk from Jon's work which will allow him to check in on her and feed her a bottle each day. That gives me a lot of comfort knowing he is close by. I guess this is part of being a parent, letting our little girl venture out in the world and have her own experiences without us. It is the first of many times we will have to do this and I'm hoping it gets easier.
