Good day everyone. I hope everone is enjoying the change of season. Spring has definitely arrived here in Virginia. With the temperatures in the high 80′s for much of last week mydaughter got her first tan. But as much as we’re all enjoying the warmer weather, what’s been most satisfying for me is the first year of fatherhood.

I’d like to pose a question for Dr. Phil, but if he can’t answer it I’m open to suggestion from anyone out there in the wide world a little more seasoned at child rearing than I am. At eight and a half months old young Talia is trying to walk before she crawls and she calls me “ogda” instead of “dada”. I would imagine that she should be able to say somethingcoherent within the next six months.

With regard to daycare, my course of action so far has been to wait until Talia can sensibly convey her thoughts before placing her in a daycare setting and trusting someone else to watch and care for her. I want her to be able to tell me how her day went and any problems or concerns she may have.

I also understand the importance of babies and children socializing amongst each other, and the last thing I want to do is compromise my daughters social growth by delaying herentry to daycare because “ogda” may be a little over protective.

So therein lies my dilemma. When is it time ( or safe) to let your baby go to daycare? Until the answer arrives Talia and I will be having some Spring and Summer fun…hopefully by the end of the Summer she can tell me how much fun she had.
