A couple of weeks ago we had the working parents nightmare & realized we immediately needed to find new day care for Sydney. It was very stressful, but it looks like it might all work out for the best in the long run. Sydney is now going to a woman named "Jo" and it didn't feel like a rushed decision because I actually interviewed her the first time I was searching for care, but she didn't have all the days I needed. Since we now only need 3 days of care, with some juggling for the next month, this will all work out.
Jo's philosophy on "craft time" is much different than where Sydney was going. Today Sydney came home with glue still stuck in the crevices of her fingers because she was obviously actively involved in what the other kids were doing- before she would have been sectioned off from the rest of the troops. I think this is great, but it was a good reminder to me to not send her in clothes that I don't want to see stained.
Unfortunately the day did not end on a high note. At suppertime Sydney really spiked a fever, was really dazed, and pretty much was limp while I put her in her p.j.'s. Not sure what is wrong, but hopefully it passes through the night. The selfish side of me did enjoy it a little bit though- I got to cuddle with her for 45 minutes before she went to bed. I would have held her longer, but realized that unless I planned to do it all night- I better make the transition before it was too late.
