Thinking back to the places we toured before Felix was born, a couple stood out. I called one this morning and they had openings! Hooray! We liked it the first time around, but as they couldn't guarantee an infant opening, we passed on it. Now they have enough availability that Felix and his friend (whose dad tipped us off last night), and hopefully our neighbor's daughter can all be there together. Our neighbors are on vacation and have no idea, so we've left messages with them today. I also had to tell a coworker, whose baby was signed up to go to the closing day care in January. I feel like quite the bearer of bad news today, so I've included a happy picture (of Felix and me with my new laser-eyes from Monday).Update 10/11/10 - we found a place for Felix and his classmate Alana at the same center. Several other kids from our old center are there as well. They started on Monday, and so far Felix is doing well. One downside has been that the smaller room sizes make him more aware of other parents picking up their kids, so he's getting unhappy in the afternoon that I haven't come yet. And he's getting very clingy in the morning. I'm not sure if it's just a transition thing (that he doesn't quite recognize the people, friends, etc.) or if he's just developing separation anxiety (which we haven't gone through yet). But on the whole they tell me he does very well during the day and that he's adjusted well to their schedule and staff.
Our neighbors are still looking at different options - our new center isn't convenient for them. But we have found out a whole mess of information about the center owner from them. Holy crap. Let's just say that cocaine, adultery, and divorce settlement were mentioned.
Felix: 14 mos
