So about that whole baby #2 thing, some of you have heard us talk about it or have asked and know we are thinking about it.
We have always known that we want our kids close in age and will most likely try to expand our family sometime this summer, but it seems like planning for the second one is more complicated. But with my non ovulating condition it just seems silly to wait to long.
Its just hard to think about adding another one when some days I can't handle to crazy one that I do have!!! (more on that later on in the post)
Also the financial aspect of it is hard because we will either have to pay for 2 in daycare which is 3/4th my paycheck or I stay home(!!!) So we have been trying to save save SAVE our $$....
which brings me to drama and STRESS
2 weeks ago we switched day cares (after much thought and sleepless nights). Its about $45 cheeper a week.
He now goes to an in-home daycare where he is taken care of by 2 people (a husband and wife) in their 60's and the lady went back to school and got her early childhood education degree so she teaches preschool to and teaches Chason too!!
I really like(d) it until week #2.
The lady got pneumonia the first week we were there and had to be closed for 2 days, no big deal, people get sick and I 100% understand that.
So last week they were open mon, tue, wed and when i got there wed night the lady was in bed and the guy told me that they would be closed tomorrow (thur) and I was kinda mad that they waited till 5:30 to tell me and then he said , ya give us a call tomorrow and see about Friday. So I'm thinking in my head shouldn't you be calling ME?!
So Friday rolls around its 4pm and I call them, no answer, 4:15 I leave a message 4:45 call again. 5pm I'm so pissed that I'm sick. So I decided that I would go to their house and see if they are open...
So I drive by and they are home so i decided to call one more time and the lady answers and I can tell she is sick and I ask her if they are open tomorrow (fir) and she says no shes sorry they wont be and I said okay that's fine i hope you feel better (and i sincerely do, pneumonia is no good for people especially her age) but hten I asked her nicely if she could please let us know in advance like that afternoon that they are closed because its hard to take off work or arrange alternate care, all she said was I'm sorry he was supposed to do that and hung up.
umm okay!!?!?! WTF.
I accept the fact that this is in-home care and when they are sick one of us will have to stay home but I don't think its unfair to ask for them to tell me before I pick my son up and ot Call ME.
now we don't want to take him there, but at the same time don't have a choice.
I called Sunday to see if they would be open Monday and he was like yes we are and i paused waiting for a "sorry we didn't call you Friday, it was crazy or we were in the hosp or SOMETHING. but NOTHING.
and the craziness.....
Chasen is a wild man.
He is starting to talk a little.
na na = no
he kinda says uh oh
and is really good at mimicing the sounds you make.
He has also started to hit and while i was in Kansas he was with ean and Joellyn.
Every time he hit Joellyn would lay him down and tell him not to do it. She said a little later he went over to a toy and hit it then he layed himself down and threw a fit.
The hitting started a few weeks ago and really has ean and i frustrated.
but,
just the other day Kevin was chewing on a soft ball of chasens so i picked it up and hit him on the nose with it and said NO.
Chasen marched over yelling na na and started to hit Kevin.
My mouth dropped and my eyes got huge, my ONE YEAR OLD understands what I'm doing!!!!
We rarely hit Kevin so I know that's not how he learned it but it still baffles me how much he picks up on!
Time to start watching my mouth!!!! I don't want him saying Shit Kevin!!
