aw miki, that stinks - I would definitely talk to her about her future plans for the daycare and then, being that you are 50% of her clientele right now, you have plenty of leg to stand on to ask that she give you proper notice before closing for the day. It doesn't have to be a difficult conversation - perhaps she doesn't realize the impact her last minute cancellations are having. And you can wrap it with love - 'We LOVE having Gummy here and hope to have our future child here too - the ONLY challenge we have is when you ...' She'd have to be a beast to not be open to that conversation!!
Ask - I hope you have baby girl in your arms right now!!!
There's an article here on BnB on the first page - I shouldn't have read it. 'I Wish I Didn't Love the Baby Stage So Much' or something like that. I've already started mourning the boys leaving the baby stage and becoming toddlers!! I've really loved it more than I ever knew (seriously - having kids opened new corners of my heart I didn't know were there) and will miss it terribly. Though we still have the sleepless nights and it's hard for them to communicate, etc, it's still so, so precious and short.
Our newest thing recently (b/c there seems to be something new every day now...) is that the boys get jealous when one is picked up and the other is not. Arms go up and they start to cry! It's heartbreaking! Things that don't happen with one child! This morning I was on the floor with them and they were both facing me and Malcolm put his arms up to be held. So I picked him up and then Timothy watched with such jealousy and started whining and motioning like he wanted some love too. T also loves just sitting on my lap when I'm down on the floor with them. They were also physically playing together today - ooooooh boy, we're going to have some scratches and bruises soon! They clearly don't have good aim or know their strength just yet so when they land a hand on the other, it either ends up as pulling hair, scratching (just b/c the instinct is to grab whatever the hand lands on), pulling shirts...
Miki - what are you feeding Gummy for solids these days? I have envy on some other moms on this site that are making their own but dang, I don't have much time for that. I'll puree a couple of fruits (made a blackberry and apricot blend the other day with blackberries from our yard) or extra veggies if we have them from dinner, or set aside a portion of our mashed sweet potatoes for them, but the rest is mostly from the squeeze packet/jar plus cereal. I'll mash a banana in the cereal too - I want them to have as much fresh food as possible but it's not always possible. At least I'm buying organic, right?
