I love daycare

Thats good to hear that Jake had a good time.

hey that's great Liz - what daycare is that? It's so nice that he is accustomed to the routines and such of daycare from when he was in Japan - i think daycare kids are incredibly resistant little mites.

How long has Jack been going for? you'll find he'll start walking before you know it because he will want to keep up with the other kids - he'll see them all running around and off he'll go one day.

I think with the toilet training thing we had more trouble with Paris going to daycare because for the first little while they weren't as attentive as we were at home about it, so she was having alot of accidents and her confidence went seriously downhill. i am now glad to report we had a stint of 10 days accident free a while ago(the incentive was 7 days accident free meant she could wear the hi-5 undies that had been in her drawer waiting for her to achieve this!!, it took her quite a while!)     currently we have given her her last incentive - that is to stay dry for 2 weeks consistently and she will get a doodle-bear (which is all we heard about from her since she saw them in the shops so we figured that was a good incentive), we have not had any accidents since mike told her of this idea and we are now 4 days away from doodle-bear day (is it mean to say we thought she would not manage it straight away.. and actually don't really have the money to get it right now... but will have to find the money from somewhere - you know the whole instant reward otherwise the lesson it lost thing...)

most places you will find separate the little ones from the older ones - over-twos and under twos usually. although the bigger kids are great cos they are sooo mothering (if alittle over-bearing).

Paris was 11 months, right at the height of her stranger anxiety stage, took forever for her to stop screaming when i left.

Ayja was 12 weeks old, still going through the separation anxiety stage with her at the mo - but sometimes she is fine and others she will cry, depends on mood and tiredness i guess.

janine, jack started when i got my job about 2 months ago. he was going mon-fri 9.30-3.30 but then i told them i was preggers and lost my job.
he's now going 2 days a week for 4hrs each and still isn't walking. he can stand by himself for ages and is happy with that but just lacks the confidence to actually take a step
they have the under 2's seperate from the over 2's and there's usually only 4-6 other kids there while jack's there. i think only 2 of them aren't walking, cos they are under 12mths

wow that's scary huh? imagine people that didn't know all that.

Russel street is pretty good - is he in the same part as Xander? , oh, hang on he's under 2 isn't he.. Xander is over. don't worry, having a blonde day.
