I haven't written about it yet but actually we've had a small revolution in our lives. Since I'm doing a stage in the Polish Institute, we had to arrange a daycare for Gaia. We looked for a nanny first but I found it very difficult to trust unknown somebody. How could I judge a person that I see for a few hours if she will be enough careful with my baby? I coudln't. So we went for another option: a nursery (asilo nido). Of course there are tears every day but I hope Gaia will enjoy it eventually as she loves kids and fun. I believe babies do socialize even before they are three and there is sense in those social activities. I'm naturally aware of circulating microbes, but well, there is always a price to pay. So far she has stayed a few hours per day only but I can already notice a change in her behaviour at home: she can stay and play alone much longer than before...
I should also say that bringing her every morning to the nursery makes me amazingly happy. I discovered I needed regularity in my life, a plan to follow and here it is. Life has become a bit more "normal". And despite missing her during the office hours, I enjoy my regained freedom. Working is not so bad in the end.
