30 minutes at the gym, Baby cried off and on the whole time. Will try again tomorrow. The childcare people seemed annoyed that I wouldn't just leave her. They kept saying she was fine. I said I was going to ease her into it. It's my damn child ok! Anyhow. Other than that they really are great. Just difference of opinion on letting kids cry. I don't want her to learn to hate it there. I want her to know I'm coming back and let herself have fun. So I'm easing her into it.
Anyhow. 30 minutes isn't too bad. Still need to look up the schedules and maybe start doing some classes! Totally excited for that!

It is hard to just leave them when theyre crying, but they forget fast and Im sure the childcare staff would have tried ways of distracting her. Sometimes seeing mommy every so often when theyre under someone else's care just reminds them and can make them more anxious. This just coming from my personal experience. My son started out like that and Id peek at him through the window every now and then but not go inside. Now he asks ME if we can go to gym, hes totally comfortable there.

Oh yeah I was looking through the window, making sure she didn't see me. I know she would totally freak out if she actually saw me. But thanks for the words of encouragement. I really hope at some point she's like that, and I think she will be. It's her only chance to really hang out with other kids and I think eventually she will want to do that. How old is your son if you don't mind me asking? My daughter is 1.
