My First day at Daycare!

 This was my first day at daycare. That's me sitting on the floor and the other baby is my new friend Kyle.

The lady that takes care of the infants at Devonshire Preschool is Elvia. My parents and I visited a dozen day cares in the West side of the San Fernando Valley (in one single day) and out of the 3 we liked best, she made the difference. In her care, none of the kids were crying, looked unhappy, had boogies, no one was being ignored. They all looked happy, entertained, busy, and well taken care of. There was soft music playing, and she had this weird almost palpable sweetness about her. That was weird, different, and from what my parents said, it was also very reassuring. The center itself was really clean, organized, and cute. All the staff was friendly and they seemed to enjoy interacting with the kids. That wasn't the case at all in most of the centers we visited, some were right down scary. What really did it, was the fact that all the kids seemed to feel at home, they were smiling and playing.

By the way, I got RSV from visiting so many day cares. I don't know which one I caught it from.
