Who would have thought that I would be attached to something in Utah, as I have been wanted to return to CA since we moved here. It's my daughter's last day at her current daycare. We are moving her to one that just opened up. It's run by these two chinese ladies and their lessons are in Mandarin and English. It's been a huge concern for me that my daughter lose her chinese roots as I am the only person who speaks to her in Chinese as my family is in CA.
I dropped off my daughter and 2 dozen cupcakes at the daycare this morning. As I was leaving to return to work, some teachers were saying goodbye (some get off work before I will be there again to pick up my daughter.) And it struck me, that these people helped me raise my child. She has been at that daycare since she was 7 months old, not walking, not talking. They have been a family of sorts for me in Utah. I will miss them a lot. I had to get out of there before I started bawling.
I exchanged contact info with one mom there. Her daughter, Lanie, and my daughter are best friends. Every morning when they see each other, they run to each other and hug. I will be bringing them to the Children's Museum this Sunday to see the new robot exhibit. I will have to make sure that we keep up with the playdates.
