Can I brag for a minute?
I have to brag to someone who understands. I'm really, really proud of myself this week. I watched a 3.5yr old, 2.5yr old, 14 month old (G) and a 4 month old, honestly it went so well! I'm really proud of myself-the kids are having fun, I'm not going crazy and I'm really enjoying myself!
My mom actually told me I'd never last watching all them and made me rethink my decision. But I'm glad I didn't back down. The kids are really great kids. Of course, there are some really, really, crazy moments but I love it so far! I'll actually be sad to see the 3.5yr old/14 month old go to another daycare :-( (I was just watching them to help out a friend).
Gianna is learning that it's not all about her 100% of the time, which is good. Someday she'll have a sibling to share mommy with (god willing!) and I think she's becoming a little more independent.
I'm also proud to say I'm bringing in some money now-it feels good to not depend on my hubby so much ;-)
Now brag about yourself too! I don't want to be selfish!
Re: Can I brag for a minute?
Allie: Would you send me some crafty ideas? I have a few that B-the 4 yr old loves to J-the 2.5yr old doesn't really love the crafts. I think they may be a little to mature for him. Do you have some fun crafts that will keep the younger ones attention longer?
Jaime-Thanks! They are really well behaved kids so they make it really easy to take out in public! We got rained on quite a bit-it was probably a good idea to bail early!
Added to all that you still made clothes!
You Rock mama!
Not only did you do a great job, you also delt with a crying 2.5 year old every morning and a very emotional mommy!
You rock!
