First Day Of Toddler Program And Bust

Since Alyssa isn't old enough yet to start preschool, which I find very important for children, I was able to find a toddler program in our area and signed her up.
On Monday we had our orientation since it's a co-op there is A LOT of parent involvement. I was so excited for her to start and begin a whole new chapter in her life. After the the orientation it made me miss working in a preschool but for all about a second.

Friday finally arrived. I was so excited about it and had been talking with Alyssa about starting school and she was excited and ready to go. Thursday it seemed she was getting a cold but I wasn't too worried about it because she normally kicks them pretty quickly. I woke everyone up pretty early on Friday morning because I had some errands to run in the morning before "school" started. I chalked her laying around
to still being tired because she was still very excited to go.

We got to the school and after washing our hands she went straight over to the dramatic play area, which I figured she would. Lately she has loved dressing up and she just sat there and looked at me with her big hazel eyes. I felt horrible! Teacher Kirsten came over and talked with us and I told her I thought I might take her home. We held out for a little while longer and after about an hour we left. I asked Alyssa if she wanted to go home and lay down and she said "yes mommy." I felt horrible.

After getting home she crawled up on the couch and fell asleep and slept for pretty much the afternoon. I hate my children being sick! After her taking it easy the last couple of days she is getting back on her feet and just in time for dance tomorrow! We have have had a fun weekend of laying low, disinfecting and napping!
