Thanks Apples and Banana's, I'll be sure to wait and hear what dcm would like to do. Both she and her husband have decent paying jobs, so it is possible that she may like her older girl to continue along in my care until she's ready to head off to kindergarten. I know it's part of this industry, but I always get "anxious" when I learn that a little one is leaving my care - I start trying to plan, and the reality is, that sometimes you just have to sit tight and get a little closer to the day of impact before you can start "doing" anything. Not very satisfying, but there you have it. =)
