After three months at home with her, Erin started daycare (or, as we called it, "school") on January 8, 2001. We had looked at a lot of centers before deciding on the Kiddie Academy right near our house, and felt good about the place. An added bonus was that they had video cameras in each room, and we could log in online and look at Erin during the day. Fortunately, she had hair, because that was usually what we used to differentiate her from the other babies in the room (this was a long time before hi-def video!). So on Erin's first day, we handed her over to Miss Denise, who would care for her, and waved good-bye to her through what they appropriately called the Bye-Bye Window. Then Jim headed off to work and I headed to the airport (no, not escaping, just a little business travel). Erin stayed at Kiddie Academy until we moved after pre-K, and it gave her a great foundation for lots of years of education to follow!
