The daycare issues...

Yep. It was hard, but we had to make the decision. Lilly was the oldest one in Ms Myrtle and Ms Paula's room. She was crawling and all the other kids were still pretty immobile. She was getting into everything and it was time to make the choice to move her to another class. There was a space available, so we did it.

Tough decision, for sure. I wasn't excited about it, since we love love love the teachers from the infant room, but we were willing to give it a chance, knowing that it was what was best for Lilly.

Two days later, Lilly was bit twice by two different boys at daycare.
TWICE! In one day. I was upset, to say the least. Here I had trusted the new room with my little one and she came back with a big bruise on her arm. It hadn't broken the skin, but still, it was not good.
As mad as I was, I didn't call. I didn't complain. I didn't say a word.
I just asked some questions of the teacher the next morning and very much got the impression that the reason my child had been bitten twice was because the teacher's backs were turned.
No good.

So that day, after talking to her new teacher, she came home free of any bites whatsoever.
But the next day, however, was a different story. Another boo-boo note. Another bite.
My child must be so yummy.
Bit again! This time, mommy wasn't ok. This time mommy hit the roof!

I had a chat with the director of the school and really felt like she listened to my concerned and she said she would do her best to get things figured out.
I gave them another shot. Another chance to make things right.
Things have been better and no more bites. Thank goodness! I might just flip my lid!
I understand this sort of stuff will happen. I even expect my child to at some point, be the biter, not the bitee. but still... three times in less than a week? Just too much!
So I am working hard at making sense of this and feeling ok about my decision to move her to a big girl room. It really is what is best for her, they just needed to be ready for someone so little joining this mix of kids.
Lilly seems to be standing tall and finding her way in the room.

I will keep ya posted. Till then, I have to trust that the school is as great as I once believed and that they are working hard to make things better.

And I can put crazy psycho mommy away for a little while longer.
