It is nice to hear everyones experiences. I do agree with having them all in the same age group, as I too find it more managable.I am currently re-structuring my dayhome and eliminating all my part time clients and only accepting fulltime. This fall I will have 3.5yrs & 18mths sisters starting in Sept, 2 @ 12mths,(one of them only for 4mths) and an 18mth leaving in Dec for maternity leave and a new 12 mth relacing him. Which will make the first 2 @ 12mths, 15mths by then, with the possibility of one of them leaving at the same time the maternity client is being replaced. All with my 2yr old girl. I am confident I can manage it, just wondering if others were as crazy as I
