We've had several people tell us that we are on top of things so far in this pregnancy, but you gotta be, right? Today, we made one of the most important decisions we will make as parents (or soon-to-be). We met our new daycare provider!
Her name is Holly. She and her family live less than 2 minutes from our home near Easter Lake. She does word of mouth work for teacher's children only. One of the best things is that during all of our breaks: Winter, Spring & Summer, she does not make us pay. That will certainly help us out a bit.
Now, we all now that Sean is Mr. Talker, right? Well, in the entire time that we were at Holly's house today, I think they talked baseball more than we talked daycare. You see... Holly's youngest son plays for Lincoln and played against Sean's baseball team this past summer. Turns out that her son was the kid who ended the worst game for Sean's team this past summer, too. Nice. Me, you ask? Yes, somehow I made a lasting impression on her, too. She says to us, "Who is the coach at North who has the boy with Down syndrome?" I told her no one, to which she said that during the second game of the season she saw a cute little boy with Down syndrome with his Mom who was talking to a coach. I started laughing...she was talking about me and one of the kiddos I do SCL with! She said that we made a "lasting impression" on her.
Call it fate? Who knows... but I call it one more item off our infinitely long checklist as soon-to-be parents.

YAY! You are on the ball! Good work.
That's awesome that you were able to find a daycare provider that works with teachers. Unfortunately the ones I looked at here were way too far out of our way driving wise. We did luck out and find a gal that will discount our summer rate since Matt is a teacher. So that will work out. Your items on the checklist will get checked off fast! It's hard to believe we'll be welcoming Brody next week! Hope you're feeling better!
