Wanting to change contract - WWYD?

Just wanted to update in case some of you didn't read on the other thread:

I sent out the email on Wednesday (long version), and one mama got back to me right away saying that she had zero problem with a 4th. I didn't hear back from the one who I knew would have a problem. So, Saturday, I texted her, asking if she received my email. She replied that yes she had. I said that I really hoped that she understood, and also that she wasn't going to bail. She said that although this was not her ideal situtation, her daughter was very happy and safe at my day home and as far as she was concerned, they were staying put. YAY!

I sincerely would have cried to have lost her little one. She's a caregiver's dream - 19 months old, rarely cries, naps a solid 2-2.5 hours, cute as a button, AND only weighs 20 lbs (lol that one was a bit of a joke, but your back and shoulders know what I mean at 5:30 on a Friday )

So good to hear!! Hahaha, I used to have a little "elf" in my care, too! Just a dainty little thing and so cute. Also napped really well.
My p/t boy on the other hand, easily weighs as much (I might even say more!!) as my 4 1/2 year old daughter, and he is only 2!!!

Hilarious, as I also have an almost 2yo little guy who weighs a tonne!

LOL I totally hear you on that one !!! I have a 3 year old that I would rather hoist up and down than the 1 year old I have

Good for you that you get to have a 4th. More $$$$ and hopefully it will be a positive change. It will probably take a while for everyone to adjust but good on you !
