    New kids for fall!

    I had a great summer and now I have some new kids starting for September! I have a 1-year-old full-time, and 3 before/after school kids. I've never done before/after care before, so this is a change for me! They are all boys, plus I have my own son, so it's going to be a house full of energy that's for sure! I am looking forward to it though.

    Anyone else have new kids starting this month?

    Started a new one year old - 2 days last week then fulltime starting today. He is sitting on my lap screaming while I type with one hand. Have another one year old starting mid-october. One more space to fill.

    Oh, play felt, good news on filling up, bad news on the screaming. My new little guy finally stopped crying all day after 2 weeks. Today at drop off he didn't even shed one tear. Wishing you a speedy transition.

    I started a new one about 3 weeks ago. He's currently upstair screaming in his playpen. LOL And another 3 year old who's sitting at the table ignoring his snack and looking at me like I'm from another world. LOL It's funny watching the new ones adjust to new situations.

    My two year old that started end of July, and who is leaving, his parents were 1.5 hours late on their first day. I guess they just thought it wasn't important. I set them straight immediately lol

    I don't have any new ones starting, but I need some. I need one for october 1st and one for november 5th. I'm trying not to panic, but it's difficult for me.

    I've also thought about doing some before and after school care. I thought that if I had two of those, I could forfeit one full timer, making my days a little less hectic. But I wouldn't be able to pick them up from school, the bus would have to bring them here, so we'll see how that goes.

    Good for you LittleDragon. We have to make sure the parents know our rules from Day One. My new baby fell asleep at 5 to 9 and the Mom woke him at 9:30 to get him here as soon as she could, so all is forgiven here, haha. He's only here this one day this week and since his Mom left I have to hold him or he screams. It's already been a long day and it's only been less than 2 hours! Transitioning newbies sux!
