I can’t believe October is almost done.    I called for appointments for everyone today.   

Me – Dr and Dentist
Tommy – 4 year check-up and Dentist
Josh – Dentist
Hubby – Dentist

Those are all made so I think I have all my family appointments on my calendar for the rest of the year.  Now I need to fit in work stuff around it all.  What a juggling act this can be!

Ooops…I have to call my allergist to check in …. I am a week late on that one.  I better go do that!

Hubby is checking into the daycare at his work today.   My SIL might stop doing daycare and we need a back up plan for Tommy.  I am ok with this since he is older.   I hope she stays doing this until he is in school, but if not the center at the college will be ok.  I am not willing to put him into a home daycare.  I don’t want him in that small of a setting with someone I don’t know.   I have been very picky with both of my boys about who cares for them.   Luckily for me, my hubby feels the same way.  We believe the frst 5 years of a child’s life is the most important.   Early childhood education makes all the difference in the world.  You can really see the difference with Josh and Tommy.   Josh was cared by my mom and a family friend until he was almost 2.  Tommy was at home with his daddy until he was over 1.  Than he has only been cared for by my SIL who is fabulous!  She does a ton of early childhood activities with him and follows a schedule for his day.   Those are both so important to me.  Of course center based daycare will be alot more expensive, but we aren’t willing to ever skimp on our childrens care and education.
