Tomorrow is the big day. The Peas are in bed, the bags are packed, every single thing is labeled and ready. Except me.
I am feeling some kinda way about sending the boys to daycare tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous. Happy and sad. Hopeful and leery. I know moms across the world send their kids to daycare each and every day. But I don't. It's not a huge deal. But it is to me. Ryan and Evan have been cared for in the comfort of their own home since they came home from the hospital and this is all they know. Their dad and I do work, but they at least have the familiarity of our home. I wonder if they'll be scared tomorrow. What will they think when their daddy drops them off and they're in this new place with new faces and new surroundings? Will they wonder if we're coming back? I'm glad that they have each other. I think this is another instance where having twins is easier. They love each other so much and I'm sure they bring each other comfort. I've been told to expect a two week adjustment period. I know this will be good for them. They'll learn so much and have fun too. We're blessed to know the owner and director personally and we trust her. I know she'll make sure that they are taken care of. But they're my babies and when you're talking about your kids it's a whole different ball game. I'm sure I'm all up in arms for nothing. Right? I planned to meet my guys at the center in the morning to see them off, but now my schedule won't allow for it, so I'll do the pick-up. It's for the best, I'm sure. Daddy P will be perfect in this situation. He's cool, calm, and collected. And I'm so not. I'd be a crying mess, and they don't need to see that. I want this to be as reassuring and easy for them as possible. I've already forewarned my husband to expect a phone call from me after I know that he's dropped them off, and that I'll want a blow-by-blow account of everything that happens from the moment they wake up until he leaves! You see this will be new for all of us. I'm sure we'll figure it all out and discover our new normal. Now, I've just gotta find a way to get through my day tomorrow.

I, (Cousin Betty) was here this Monday morning to give the boys big hugs and kisses and see them off to daycare. (My flight leaves today to return home). I will truely miss Ryan and Evan. They are the joy of my life amd I love them so very much. I have had so much fun with them. They are so smart, great children. Mom is nervous about daycare but the boys will be fine and do good. Like Mom said, it is a blessing that they know the owner and director and she will make sure the boys are fine. Nothing to worry about. Of course I will be checking on them all week to get updates on how they are adjusting. I will be back to visit my boys real soon.
