Another story of a WH and an LBS

Hi Gatsby! I am answering your question about daycare on your thread.

Well, S has been a handful of times. They give me a report card every time and I notice that the "teachers" are always holding or rocking an itty bitty infant. It really feels like there is a lot of patience for the babies! I also know they could be on their best behavior because I am there, but I am good at getting a vibe on people and situations so I doubt that is the case.

As for naps, they seem to have a system where the babies sleep in a crib or a mat on the floor or in a swing. It amazed me to see the 4th day, I showed up to get S and I see him actually lying down on the mat and following the "routine." They play lullaby music and dim the lights and they follow a schedule (which is something that was a top priority). I actually see ALL the babies (except maybe 1) sleeping!

So hopefully your place is open to various ways to getting the babies to sleep. I never have walked in to hear a baby crying without seeing someone holding him or her!! And Gatsby, seriously, DO NOT HESITATE to make your "needs" known and your "requests." You are paying, it is YOUR child, and I have a feeling you will not be a bitch about it!!:) Ok I know you know this, but just saying it anyway.

I haven't had to, yet, but I did come in to get S and noticed the paperwork was wrong. It said they called me at 11:30 not 12:20. So I crossed it out and wrote the correct time. (I was not going to make it look like I took 1 hr 20 minutes to get him!)

Let's see....it was hard leaving him the first day, but when I picked him up, he was happily playing. That made it easier the other times. Your baby girl will be so loved and cared for!
