Fun at the Y

I finally signed up at the YMCA and today was my first day. The main reason I chose this gym is because of their awesome daycare. The program director suggested I bring Sophie and Hannah in for an hour to help them get used to everything. Today was the first day I had them in ANY kind of daycare. It's just been family watching them until now.

I brought the girls to the childcare wing, signed them in and brought them to the designated room for their age group. Sophie was fine. She walked right in and started playing with an exersaucer. Hannah immediately started crying. Anyone who knows Hannah knows that her cries are loud...and piercing. After dropping them off I lurked around the room for a while (out of sight) while she cried (and cried and cried). Finally, went to the lobby to wait it out. Her cries carried all the way to the lobby. I happened to run into a former co-worker while I was there. He asked about the girls and I said "Oh they're back there howling." He said, "Oh, what group is that?" Like it was a kids group or something. The Howlers. I pointed to the childcare wing and said "No, she's howling."

I ended up working out for a little bit too. I have to say, except for the crying and screaming part, it was great. It was nice to have a little "me" time. And I never thought I would equate working out with getting a little "me" time.

Hopefully the next time will be better because I really want to try the sauna.
