Day Care?



In these warm months Xavier's daycare has "sprinkler days", which is nice and sounds like a lot of fun. This morning was raining so I figured that they wouldn't let the children out. I thought wrong! I dressed my lil baby in his regular clothes. One of the teachers in his daycare informed me as long as its not thundering and lightening outside the kids will be outside. Fine, now I know, not a problem. The kids there were having a blast with the sprinkler and water table. Xavier after a 2 week break from daycare has been crying when I drop him off. Which I know like Marc it's hard to go back to work or daycare for Xavier after a great vacation. I gave my sweety pie kisses and we said our goodbyes. It's still a little hard saying goodbye when he cries but I do know that he does enjoy being at school. I ended up going home and picking up extra clothes for Xavier and a towel. After that I went to home depot to try to finish an outdoor project that Marc and I have been working on. Ugg, its still not finished but we shall preserver! Around 4:30 I pick Xavier up from daycare. As I held him in my arms I notice his butt is damp and he smells like he's been in wet clothes all day. Why didn't his teacher change his clothes that I brought for him? This had me a little upset thinking that he had to stay in damp clothes all day. On top of that she told me that Xavier didn't eat his lunch or snack. According to her he only drank water during the day. I guess I was more upset at hearing this at the time that I didn't bring up about him being in wet clothes. Grrr, daycare! I know no one is perfect and blah, blah, blah. But this is my Prince, and as the cliche' goes "no one takes better care than mom" Things like this makes me want to check out other day cares. There's other issues that I have with the daycare, that's why I would look at other's. Grrr. When I dropped him off and I walked over to his teacher. She was with one of his classmates by the sprinkler holding his hands. Sure she looked sweet and all caring for X's classmate, but she made no attempt to take Xavier as he was crying. This I didn't like. That child would've been fine if his teacher left him for a second or she didn't leave the child at all. We all know that you just don't leave your child crying when you drop them off. A teacher is suppose to walk over and distract your child so you can make a clean getaway. Hmm, all of X's classmates are alot younger than he is. And there's at least four of them not including Xavier. Makes me think maybe because the other kids are much younger than X that they take more of her attention? We will see what happens, Marc is home so I gotta run! Oh and I have to add his teacher has a tendency to exaggerate, just stating the facts people.


Our project, still in the works>



Marc looking pretty while I do all the work!
