Growing Seeds

Sabine is now finally enrolled at Growing Seeds. She will be going on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday every week. We originally had planned to do five days, but since I am still not working we decided against it. It was a tough decision, because when I get a job, it may be difficult to add days back to our childcare schedule. They have a very long waiting list. But, we just couldn't see having her in there all week and me being home alone. I would miss her too much. Three days is about right, it gives me time to work on freelance projects and look for work. Plus, we really can't afford full-time care right now.

Bine spent the last six weeks going to an in-home childcare for 2 - 3 days a week with a nice woman named Anna. It was good timing for us to get into Growing Seeds, because Anna just found out she was pregnant and has to have bed rest for the next eight months!

We like the new daycare so far, but are worried about her napping there. Bine sleeps so well here and they really don't have things set up very well for napping. All the kids her age are in one room and they just put them down on mats when its nap time. The lights are on, other kids are playing and there are no cribs - which is a problem since Bine likes to roll around so much. She only slept for 20 minutes the first day, which was not good. On the other hand she slept 12 hours that night, so it's not all bad. We just don't want her nap experiences there to affect her sleeping at home. But, the sleep training is ingrained now, I think it will be fine.

Here's a video I shot today of a very happy baby....
