Tomorrow's the day, we are moving our 12.5 month old to a new center and I am terrified. Mommy guilt is in full force.

He's been at his current center since 15 weeks and I thought it was amazing but the director left and the new director is behaving more like a dictator. I disliked her as a teacher and dislike her even more as the director.

The new center is brand new and gorgeous. Huuuuge classrooms, excellent ratios, closer to home (which gives me nearly an extra hour a day with LO!!!) and more flexible.

I think it's the right choice to move him but I'm so nervous. He's had a rough past few days with his one year shots, wonder week, cutting molars, having a cold, working on walking, fighting naps... I'm scared he's going to have a difficult transition. Thankfully this week I can do a few short days to try to ease this transition but I'm hoping the bee will have some other tips?

Or maybe just some words of encouragement? I'm freaking out.

I'm going to take his pillow and blanket that smell like us, like home. He's going to do a half day Monday, 6 hours Tuesday, 7 on Wednesday, 7 on Thursday, and a full day Friday.

ETA I want to transition him this week because at his current center he would be transitioning to the toddler room this week so I don't want him to transition to the toddler room, then to a new daycare a couple weeks later.
