Our family has been fortunate since we live so close to family that they are more than willing to help watch the kids. But there comes a time when daycare is needed. When Christian was 18 months, we started him at a Lutheran daycare in town and loved it. He would go 2 days a week and then to Grandma's for 3 days a week. It was rough for a while but he soon grew to like it!
Bryan has been amazing and has been a stay at home daddy since I returned to work last September and I love knowing that the kids are home safe all day! But I know that I can't be selfish and that he needs to get out of the house too so when he was offered a temporary job at the cranberry marsh he worked for last fall, I knew that daycare was going to be needed :( My in laws are on vacation right now so that was not an option. So on Monday, Bryleigh started daycare and she did AMAZING! She didn't cry at all! This takes some getting used to on my part because Christian took weeks to adjust and dropping him off every morning just about killed me! But Bryleigh girl is sure my little miss independent and social so she enjoys being around other kids. And our daycare is actually a teacher that left Christian's daycare and started watching kids in her own home! So she knows both of my kids really well!
So right now we have a crazy hectic schedule until my in laws return next week! Monday and Wednesdays both the kids go to Miss Chris's house and on Tuesdays and Thursdays Bryleigh goes to Miss Chris's and Christian goes to preschool/daycare at the school! But thankfully next week, my mother in law will watch the kids Tues-Thurs. and the kids will go to Miss Chris's on Wednesday's! So it sure has been busy and stressful since we returned from vacation but I guess what can I expect coming back from paradise :)
And not to mention... I have a little helper.... Bryleigh is at the age now that she loves helping! She throws her own diapers away willingly (Yipee!!!) And she puts her laundry in the hamper! What more could a mother ask for :)
