EAR INFECTION AND NEW DAYCARE

Deer Weeb,

You were supposed to start at your 3rd daycare today. We left the first because they were busted for having too many kids under 2 years old, the second asked us to leave because we started teaching you about inappropriate touching and the lady who ran the place thought it was because we didn't trust her boyfriend (who she had been leaving you kids with, unattended). I have not been impressed with having to leave you in the care of others and have had great disappointments with these past two experiences, though I never felt you were treated badly. I have hope for this new daycare. The lady seems rather set in her ways in regards to child care, but perhaps that will be a good thing. It is a Montessori daycare and will be going from a 10 child home daycare to a 50+ child daycare center in a new center in June.

You didn't actually start there today though because we spent the night in the ER with you. You have your very first ear infection and you were so very uncomfortable, all you could do is cry, you couldn't even tell me why. I just knew something was wrong and convinced Daddy that we needed to go to the hospital at 9:30 last night. We got home around midnight. It was much faster than I thought it would be. Luckily there was a drug store still open. We had you on antibiotics and anti-inflamitories for the pain. My poor girl. I've never seen you so upset. It was not a fun trip to the hospital. And by the time we got home, you were running a fever.

This morning, you actually slept beside me in bed for the first time. Poor thing, you were feeling so bad. But you had some good rest and I can see you starting to perk up.

New daycare will start in another day or so. Then we will start toilet training and trying to wean you from bottles!
