My book "Melas Angels"--Betty's first year (6)

Betty's first year--continue (6)

It was difficult to adjust to being away from Betty after spending 16 weeks with her. I used to cry in the office, missing her.

Three months later, the Children Place day-care center called to say they had a spot for my Betty. Of course, I was delighted. Mrs. Lee was sad – she has bonded with Betty.

Children Place has so many children, ranging from a few weeks old to ten years old. Betty was seven months old and in the baby group which was for ages from six weeks to 18 months. One provider looked after three babies. The children played together, drew pictures together, sang together, etc. This trains children to live in groups. We thought this was a good idea. Betty might feel lonely at Mrs. Lee house.
