    Let's be positive-Best thing about today...share yours

    Just thought we could all use a dose of optimism with the crappy weather etc. Plus it can be very easy to get caught up in the problems of our jobs when there is so much positive as well.

    I already shared this but my new boy went straight to sleep for his nap. Best gift ever!

    What's yours?

    All 6 of mine today played so well all morning that I did nothing to entertain them, except for craft time. We skipped circle and storytime, will do it after nap or not! It's awesome when they play amazing, I didn't need to be a referee today!

    All my kids asked for seconds of my carrot soup!!! I think they were starving because they walked both ways to the OEYC this morning (plus their busy time when in there). Everybody fell sleep within minutes (even my son who is the one who usually has trouble to sleep) So far it has been a great day!

    When my new 1 year old DCB who has been mouthing everything...finally 'got it'...he went to put a train in his mouth and before I could repeat (for the umpteenth time) "not in your mouth"...he paused, looked at me and just started rolling it along. Yes!
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    My new dcg started today and she is really sweet and only cried a little bit before naptime when she was really tired. When I put her down for nap, she went straight to sleep and is still sleeping (it's been over 2 hours). Looks like I may have a winner here

    Hmmm..must be something in the air with all these great nappers!

    My newish PT dcg finally got that I will not give in during naptime. It is not negotiable. You must rest/sleep/stay quiet and respectful of your friends rest time! Grandma and her autie watch her 2 days a week and she's their princess.

    Today is her 1st day (I've had her for 5 weeks) that she hasn't made a peep. Woke up and rolled over and went back to sleep.

    I was just thanking my lucky stars this morning as I typed a letter to my clients to tell them that my new family who were here only 3 weeks are leaving without a proper explanation. I'm blessed with 4 wonderful families and 4 great little ones in care right now. The children laughed and laughed all day even though we were stuck inside due to freezing weather but we made our butterfly crafts, danced and played and then they slept 2 1/2 hours which was great. We're going outside for the next two days because it's supposed to warm up a little - Thank Goodness! So even though there are some bad things happening in my life I'm trying to see the positive side.

    Mine is about my daycare parents. My daughter was rushed to emerg today as her throat was closing (allergic to the antibiotics they gave her yesterday). I texted all my families to say that my husband would be here to watch the kids. They were all fantastic about him taking over, they all texted all day/night to make sure she was ok and are even ok with my hubby watching their little ones tomorrow for me to take her to a specialist appt. I can't tell you how much it means to have good families on board and supportive families! This is the first time in a long long time that I have had such wonderful families. Their children are all awesome too. I'm once again enjoying my job and the interaction with both the families and their children

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Did you know?
On average, a listing is viewed each month by more than 50 parents looking for an available opening for their child!
