I have found the most wonderful dayhome for Finley to attend. It is about 400 million times better then the one she was supposed to go to. It is operated by a mom and daughter team. They have 4 girls including Finley all around the same age. We met Ann & Alicia last night and was so impressed by what we saw. When we left, I felt like we would be leaving her with my mom and sister. This morning Finley and I went again for a playdate with the other 3 girls and Finley had a blast. I hid around the corner so she couldn't see me and she didn't even notice that I was gone! She starts going Monday for mornings all that week and then full time the week after. I think she will have alot of fun and really learn alot from the other girls!
I must admit that I was really concerned regarding the dayhome situation especially since it was so close to my return to work date and I wanted to get her in slowly so she could adjust to her new routine.
I think yesterday I emailed 25 dayhomes, posted a wanted ad on Kijiji, and spoke to about 15 different dayhomes. Many wanted a carseat so they could drive around Calgary with her. Are you serious? Nobody has ever driven a vehicle with Finley in it other than myself or Greg. Yes I know I am over protective. Some just sounded completely insane, some had terrible hours so needless to say, I was so happy that Ann & Alicia worked out for us!!
Good luck to all my fellow baby mama's searchin for a dayhome!!! It is so incredibly stressful but trust me you will know when you have found the right one. And, ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT INSTINCT!!
