Hallelujah, we made it to 18 months. I remember when Nora was born I kept saying, we just need to make it (as far as child care is concerned) a year 1/2. We tried different child care options and settled on one that worked out fine, but when she turns 18 months she gets to come to school with me. I felt so at peace going back this year knowing she would be right there with me. It's great and I'm blessed to be a working mom in this situation. Being a working mom is very difficult, especially when you don't really have a choice of whether you work or stay home (which is usually the case), but it's much easier knowing I have the option of bringing her with me. The Early Childhood program is literally right down the hall from my office and I can peak on her whenever I want. Here's some pictures of her first day. Her teacher said she was "more than happy" all day. It's also great to have co-workers come up to me and say, "I went to check on Nora for you and she's playing and looks happy". It's really a family environment and I'm thankful I have such good friends that will help me with her. Anyhoo....here are some pictures of her first day.

Yea for Nora (and Angie!!). The pictures are sooo cute. Kiss her for me!
Nora is such a big girl, and I love her little uniform. I'm so happy for you guys that you have such a wonderful childcare set up. I really don't think she could get any cuter...
What a cutie with her backpack! I'm so glad you have such a great situation for her school. That really takes the stress off!
BTW - I'm with you on hating tags & such. But I do like the 100 things, thus my post :).
I know that you are sooo relieved to have Nora so close. Keep us posted on how she is doing. We found a french speaking school for Madi. We are hoping that she will be "schooling" us on the language soon - Love you guys!
I'm going to have to get Mer a backpack. She's such an accessory lover and that just looks like something that would make her glow with happiness. I'm incredibly happy for yall, Ang.
she looks adorable. it is awesome that she is right down the hall from you!
That girl is too precious. I love her with the pic with her big girl backpack on. I'm sure she is LOVING being at school with you. As I've told you before, you are blessed with the absolutely BEST of both worlds with that job. I'm so thrilled for you and for Nora! :)
I totally understand exactly what you are saying. I am so glad Nora and her mommy are doing well
Wow!! Nora is such a big girl! So so so so cute!! I'm so happy for both of you! Tell Mar we said "welcome back" too!
Don't you just love it when childcare just all works out. By the way, I just learned that I was "tagged" on July 25th....I'm REALLY behind on my blog reading. Sorry.
Okay...I'm back in business. You're sweet for the pep rally of comments:). Now get to working on your update.
