New Kid, First Day... doing amazing!
Just wanted to share my success with everyone. I have a new little one that started today. I was concerned about a few things... not holding a bottle, not self soothing, still on puree'd foods. But, we tried him anyways. He's amazing! He came to me right away, he didn't cry at all when mom left, he's been playing great with the other kids. I also got him to hold his own bottle, and he went to sleep within 10 minutes of crying by just putting him down on his back over and over again letting him know it's time to sleep. ( mom soothes with a bottle and lays him down asleep or almost asleep at home)
It's days like these that make me feel like an amazing daycare provider.

Good to hear your positive experience. I have accepted a "high needs" little boy who starts next week. I am preparing myself to get no break at nap time, listen to crying all day etc. I have had such amazing luck transitioning so far, but I just don't see it going smoothly with this little guy. He's been over with his mom for a few play dates so far and he screams whenever I try to touch him or even if I get to close. Hopefully I have a nice surprise instead and some of your magic rolls my way

Oh I hearing the success stories ~ I will have two newbies again this fall and with all the horror stories lately about screamers I was starting to stress but it is nice to be reminded that there are indeed 'easy to transition' children out there
Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

She keeps her daughter home when she is sick....I really am so happy to have another golden family!!
