New Daycare for Bea?
I've been calling this one daycare on and off to see if they have any openings. I called before Bea arrived and I was put on a waiting list. I then called sometime after Bea made her entrance into this world and they were still not taking infants. At the time I was fine with it because I still had some time before my maternity leave ended. On sort of a whim yesterday I called again. And what luck, (er or bad luck) they actually have a slot open! And they are willing to take her. Most of the people on the waiting list have been on it for a year or so and they've probably already found alternate care. That's how 'lucky' I am. Of course I have mixed feelings, but I know, if it's a good place this will help Bea out in the long run. I have a interview with them next Tuesday. So we'll see from there. After all, I am a product of daycare, and as far as any mistreatment I encountered it was merely being 'forced' to eat beans or I wouldn't get my dessert. (I never ate the beans mind you!) I was just as stubborn then as I am today. :) My brother went to this lady, who now has a place of her own-before she worked for someone else, and he turned out okay... er.. maybe it's too soon to tell? Just kidding Dave! You know I love you! I think the worse thing that happened to him was the owner's dog bit him in the FACE! I would and will be freaked out if that ever happens. But these are all things that I can look for when I go to visit her facilities. One plus, so far of this place, is that they are literally 'across' the street from where I work. So if I ever get to where I just can't handle it or something I can always pop on over there. I'm sort of leaning more towards them because Bea will need some kind of structure as she gets older. And unfortunately my mom won't always be able to watch her. I'll let you know what happens next Tuesday!

I think the idea of taking her there part time is good and a plus that it is so close to work. What does Izak thing?
He thinks it will be good for both of us. But I know it's going to be sooo hard to leave her that first day... I just can't even think about it right now.
