Last Day of Daycare

Today is Finley's last day of daycare - at least full time. Even though I am working until noon tomorrow, my sister will be here so she wants to look after Finley. To say that Finley loves Ann & Alicia is an understatement and I know that the feeling is mutual. I am not sure who is going to be sadder when I pick her up tonight - them or Finley.

I found Ann & Alicia in just the nick of time as the first day home that I had lined up fell through in a very negative way. After that experience, I was a little apprehensive about the whole idea of day homes and day cares and what not, but as soon as I met Ann & Alicia, I knew Finley was in good hands. She always got smily and happy the minute the door opened and she saw them waiting for her with open arms. At the end of the day, she greets me with a smile and was always happy. She went from being a 11 month old who couldn't walk or talk to a babbling 21 month old who never stops. She has progressed so much and I know that they have had a huge impact on this and for that I am grateful.


This is Finley after her first full day of daycare....

And here she is on her last full day of daycare.....

Wow has she changed, sometimes I find it so hard to believe that she was a tiny little baby so dependant on us for everything. I am looking forward to spending more time with Finley once my mat leave begins, hopefully it will be a good experience for us all

And I wish everybody who is looking into daycare providers in their area are as lucky as we were in finding Ann & Alicia. After the recent stories in the media regarding child care providers, we were truly were blessed.
