On the first drive of the day it stays in first gear to long maybe fifty yards or so then starts shifting through the gears fine. After it that starts of fine for the rest of the day. Next day same thing and so on.

There is a transmission fluid temperature sensor that wound like has gone out or if off a little here is the location so you can replace it. You will need to pull the pan this guide should help.
