Daycare Success

Katie went to daycare for the first two days of this week for just half of the day. She handled those half days pretty well, but she seemed very tired by the end of the day. I had asked my parents to pick her up at the half day point to make sure that she was able to come home and get some sleep so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by daycare, but she wasn't sleeping much in the afternoon after being picked up. So, today we tried a full day at day care and let her take her nap there. It worked like a charm. She took a full two hour nap after lunch. When I picked her up from day care today she was happy and energetic and ready to play. She remained in a high energy, happy mood for the rest of the night. She walked to the store and back home again with Amy. She climbed up the stairs here at home several times and she climbed back down the stairs for the first time in months. Amy and I are incredibly happy to see her doing so well and we are hoping that things continue to go in this new, positive direction.
