Nora started wrap-around care at St. Matthews. The first day was a little rough. They have quiet time after lunch where the kids have to lay on their cots. Nora hasn't taken a nap in over 2 years. She said laying there made her miss mommy and daddy and water came out of her eyes (no, she insisted she wasn't crying.) I felt so bad, but I reiterated with her teacher that she doesn't take naps and now she only has to lay down for 20 minutes. Then she gets to read books or get up and play in another room. One afternoon there were baby chicks to pet! Nora's favorite part seems to be that she gets to eat lunch at school. She tried baked beans and said they weren't too bad. She ate pineapple and carrot sticks. She had the best meatballs ever on day and said she ate 6 of them! This is pretty impressive for Nora. Now she claims she likes daycare better than preschool. As an update, the second week she fell asleep two days. I couldn't believe it!
Edith started going to an in home daycare. She is going two days a week to Connie's. Connie watches two 2 year old kids so we hoped Edith would get plenty of attention and hopefully be exposed to less sickness. The first day she refused to take the bottle at first. Connie called Ben and he told her to heat the milk up extra warm. After that there was no problem. She loved watching the other kids and has been playing a little in an exersaucer. She is also enjoying being held a lot. Now she just has to master taking better naps! When there is any excitement she doesn't like to miss out.
