The Disadvantage of Daycare

Well, it's a whole new semester! And already it's been a pretty eventful one!

Prior to the start of school, Chad and I thought long and hard about taking the kids back to daycare. We had a rough fall semester having the kids being locked inside all day and concluded that for sanity, daycare would be the best. We were a little worried, though. Mykala holds her own in different environments now that she is older and communicates well, but we were worried about how Jace would handle it. We finally decided that taking him in only two days a week would be the best for all of us.

The daycare they go to is great - the one we took Kala to 2 years ago moved into a bigger building and have gone all out on security and entertainment....you definitely get what you pay for (and that's a lot!)

Jace did fine when we dropped him off...that cute, energetic, curious boy of ours took off to explore the room, climb up things, and make friends (we were able to spy on him with the security cameras.)

At the end of the day, the kids were pretty exhausted, as predicted. And we already can't get the details out of Mykala. Everytime we ask her how things went, she says, "Fun" or "Good". When asked her favorite part, she says, "Everything." But we're pretty sure she has a blast. Mykala already has two friends - Mia and Matty. :)

The downside of it all; however, has been the fact that after two days of being at daycare, Jace has already gotten sick. He has an on and off temperature, has been throwing up at night, and has an awful AWFUL runny nose. The poor kid is miserable!! We're all trying our best to hang on, and we're hoping that by Tuesday everyone's good to go. We cannot afford to have this semester go so sour so soon!!

Other then adventures with daycare, the semester so far has been going pretty smoothly. Chad and I have a lot to handle this semester. We both really like our classes, but I personally am worried I took on too much. We'll make it, though, I'm sure!
