Transitioning :(

[Momof4]

Interviewing is my least favourite part of my job and transitioning is a very close second. It's really rough when you get a child who takes a few months to fit it. It's exhausting for us as the provider and for the other children in the daycare. I've been transitioning new new babies for months now and I look at the 3 older children at the end of the day and they are just wiped out like I am from listening to all the crying. I love it when a child comes in and is happy quickly but it doesn't happen very often.

I'm in month 4 with the new little boy and his parents are doing everything I suggest so that he has consistency at home and daycare. I won't terminate when the parents are trying hard because I'll just have to start over if I try a new family. But you have to go with what works for you.

Thanks ladies, it just helps knowing others understand. To top it all off today I have a killer migrane! The new little one is soooo sweet and I know we will get there but I just wish it was now!

She naped today but had a #2 during and fell back asleep. I had to wake her to change her but she wasn't happy and didn't sleep much after!
