Daycare Decided

Today, we settled on a daycare. We choose a home daycare about 4 blocks from our house. We visited late last week during daycare hours and really liked the people and what we saw in the kids interactions. This weekend and today, I followed up with references and really liked what we heard. The parents were all very happy and enthusiastic with the daycare. One of the questions I asked each parent was: "What values do you think your child has learned from the daycare?". All three parents I talked to said things like: Sharing, Playing nice with others and taking turns. Also, every parent used the words loving to describe the daycare and were all very happy with the whole team of providers.

Kristen is going to call or email them tomorrow to confirm our spot for the fall. Hopefully everything goes well and there is indeed a spot for us. Tomorrow is Kristen's first day at home by herself. I've tried to make tomorrow as easy as possible for her - I'll make her a nice breakfast in the crock pot and there are leftovers for lunch, so at least meals are taken care of.
