First day of daycare

Well, the girls (and mommy and daddy) survived the first day at daycare today. The girls are going to The Wooden Shoe on Mondays and Wednesdays. Mimi will still watch them a few Fridays a month and James has them the Saturdays I work. It was very hard for us to drop them off this morning :( Sophia got down on the floor with a smile and started playing with the other kids right away, but poor Isabella was not a happy camper. She was crying quite a bit and holding onto my jacket with a super-grip...but the ladies there were so nice and we knew they would take good care of the girls. Talking with the daycare later in the day we found their roles reversed. Sophia had a harder time once she did not get her much needed morning nap. The poor girl usually gets a 9am nap as well as an afternoon nap, but at daycare they only do the afternoon nap so she was exhausted by lunch-time and almost falling asleep at the table, while Isabella adapted to the noise and the kids and had a good day after all. James picked the girls up after work and he said Sophia had an ear to ear grin when she saw him, and Isabella just looked up and then went back to eating her cheez-its :) They were both very happy once he picked them up and they didn't want to let go! When I got home from work of course they were in bed already, but I can't wait to spend time with my babies tomorrow and see if they still seem tired. Let's hope this whole daycare transition goes smooth for them.
