In light of Mommy getting her new job as 4/5 Band Director in her school district, she has gone in to work (without Elliot), for the first time since last June, in order to begin recruiting students for the band for next year. Daddy, of course, was at work, too. Grandma J. broke her foot, so she is unable to babysit right now. All of which means that Elliot had her first visit to "daycare." Rather than go to a regular daycare, Elliot is going to Veronica's house. Veronica is a very nice Mommy that Elliot's Mommy met through work. Mommy taught Veronica's girls in band at JFK and in the school musical. When Mommy announced she was having a girl, Veronica had knit her a beautiful afghan. Mommy knew that Veronica babysat during the day for several kids, so she thought that would be a great place for Elliot to go...
Elliot went to Veronica's yesterday for about 2 hours. When we arrived, big girl Amelia was there playing, and Elliot was instantly in love. Elliot just LOVES to play with big girls! She barely noticed when I left. Veronica said Elliot was a very good girl and only cried once when her big dog barked. (Elliot gets startled by big dogs barking.) (So does her Mama...) When Mommy returned to pick Elliot up, Elle was asleep in a stoller out in the yard under a tree. Veronica and her daughter Michelle were sitting there with her, enjoying a nice cool breeze. When I went over and started talking, Elli opened her eyes and waved to me. I am so proud of her for being such a good girl while I was gone.
She will be returning to Veronica's one more time on Tuesday for the same reason. Hopefully, she will be just as good a girl then as she was on Friday!
