New Beginnings

I wasn't looking to find a new daycare for the boys. I was never opposed to the idea of another one though. It's just hard to put trust in someone you don't know and the daycare that Gabriel has been going to since November was the same one a dear friend takes her kids to. It made it easier to trust them.

Now we will embark on a new trust. Gabriel will start Brown Bear's Learning Center, an in home daycare, on July 28th. Ben will start on August 18th when I go back to work. (yes, back to work!)

Angela is the provider and her home is VERY clean, fun things to do and see, a learning curriculum, only four other children and close to Gma's house. It's closer for us to get to as well. Not much but a little bit and easier to get to.

The price is a little higher but I think this is going to be a better fit for both of the boys. Angela also has a heart child. Her 14 year old had surgery 12 years ago. He had 3 holes in his heart and a valve that wasn't fully grown. Sound familiar???? He has never needed another surgery. I take comfort in having a provider that has some familiarity with CHD.

Gabriel will have some struggles at first since it's a new place but most of all there are no pacifiers allowed after your child has turned one year old! He needs to get rid of it already anyway but it is going to be hard because when he's tired he wants it...

The downside to switching daycares is having to tell Tiffany this week that we are leaving in two weeks. I hope I don't cry...
