Amane started going to morning play program at the local church from today. I was struggling to deal with 2 kids by myself all day, so I wanted Amane to be in some kind of play group program. But at the same time, I felt a bit sad and guilty to leave her. I guess mothers emotions are full of contradiction and is complicated.
Anyway, it is a drop-off child care from 9 to 1, Amane will go twice a week. The main reason we decided to put her in this particular place is that our great friends' daughter goes there and they are pretty happy with it. It always helps to make a decision when you can ask for an advice from someone who already knows about it.
Amane didn't even notice when I left this morning. Then I was told that she did great, didn't cry once when I picked her up. I was really proud of her! And I am glad we decided to do this, I hope she'll continue to have fun!
本日より我が娘 雨音、遂に社交界デビューを果たしました。
友人から紹介してもらった、教会での朝9時から1時迄の、日本でいうところの一時保育に今日から週2日預ける事にしたのです。
家でほぼ2歳児と2ヶ月の赤子と1日中過ごす事に限界を感じていたものの、実際預けるとなると何だか寂しいような、何とも複雑な心境。
でも今朝送り届けると、あっさり私の手を離れそそくさと遊びに興じる娘。
私がその場を離れた事にすら気付いてない様子。
迎えに行った時には「ひとつも泣かずに楽しく遊んでましたよー」との事。
なーんだ、親が思うよりも子供はいつの間にか成長してるもんなんだな。
良かった。
ほっとして、また少しだけ逞しくなった彼女を見て、とっても誇らしく、でも一抹の寂しさを拭えない今日でした。
