Farewell Daycare

Most of you know that I had been complaining about my Small Fry always getting sick since he started day care and how I can’t wait to pull him out of there. Well, last Friday was his last day and honestly, I got a little sad because in the past four months that Michael and I have been taking our son there, we really developed a great relationship with his teachers. It would have been a fantastic place if the Small Fry didn’t get sick too much while he was there. More

When It Rains It Pours But When Blessings Come They Overflow

I haven’t written in a while because I’m a working mom who’s not quite succeeding at the juggling act these days. Even with a flexible schedule and the help of an amazingly involved and supportive husband, I still find myself torn in a dozen directions at any given moment. More

Day Care = Constant Runny Nose?

As the symptoms from one cold begin to go away, here comes another. Las Friday, I noticed that the Small Fry has started to get runny nose again and over the weekend, he was so congested! It really sucks because we all know that viral illnesses do not respond to antibiotics and needless to say, we are always left with treating the symptoms (with cool/warm mist humidifier & plenty of fluids) and waiting for them to go away on their own.

Happy Baby At Daycare

My small fry started day care three weeks ago and I am having such a hard time separating from him as I go off to work and leave him at day care. He starts crying each time I get ready to leave. Sometimes he even begins crying as I put him down on the floor to play with the toys there. Although I read at a parenting magazine that it may take awhile for some babies to adjust and get  used to day care,  it really breaks my heart knowing that he cries periodically throughout the day.

Separation Anxiety

Today, hubby & I got off work early to check out day care centers in our area for the small fry. I didn’t realize that checking out day care facilities would make me so emotional.

In some ways, I’m excited to see the small fry in a new environment with all kinds of new things and people to learn about. But for the most part, I’m sad that we will be leaving him with someone other than his grandparents, who has been the greatest caretaker he will ever have.

We picked the Kindercare in Mill Creek and decided to write a check for Jordan’s registration. I couldn’t fight off tears in anticipation of dropping him off every morning in a couple weeks.
