Daycare?

Finding eggs
"I found one!"
"Did I get ten yet?"

Yes, Nakai started going to daycare. It is in the local hospital. He went for three weeks. I had to finally face the fact that I was going to have to find some work outside of the house. I decided I would try and work within the school district so the hours would be the same as the children's. I was accepted as a substitute teacher aide/cafeteria aide (yes, the lunch lady!) for the local elementary schools. I just had to wait for my clearances to come in. In the meantime, I decided to look into care for Nakai and get that lined up and him acclimated while I had time to be "on call" and see how he adapted. Well, the hospital was the only place with an opening before August (when school is no longer in session), so against my better judgement I enrolled him. He went from 9-4 (so long) Mon-Fri. He didn't really like it, I didn't really like it, but I felt I had to do it. Well, I finally pulled him out when I showed up and found the staff watching television...and not only tv, but the news, in front of the children! I was devastated about it. We all know the effects of harmful media on children. Especially fatal media stories about children. Anyway, so I pulled him immediately and reported the center to the state licensing agency. He now attends a preschool program at an elementary school five half-days per week. I am happy, he's happy, the program is high-quality with excellent staff and programming and I can still work half a day. All is well.
