If someone asked me "What have you been doing the past week?" I would have to respond as such.... " I have been on the phone looking for a new daycare." I have removed all of the explicit language that I would have inserted had this been any thing other than "G rated". I wish that I could say I had forgotten how painful searching for day care was, but I really hadn't.
For those of you that don't know. Our daycare provider Meredith has decided to go back to school. Last year, her husband was laid off (a shop teacher) but right before labor day got a 3/4 teaching job in which he is home by 2pm every day. So a week ago, Meredith informed me that as of January 3rd, she will be closing her daycare at 3pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so she can take classes at 4pm. So I asked her some additional questions and she will proceed with those hours until January of 2012 when she will close her daycare. Courtney is doing so well with Meredith and the kids there, that I had contemplated trying to adjust my hours to fit the new day care hours. After a bit of discussion, Brian and I decided that moving Courtney now is going to be much easier than moving her when she is 1 1/2 years old. So.... here's to another round of daycare interviews...
