Week 21, Daycare is checked off the list

I being the planner that I am, can now check Day Care off the list of things to worry about. Thankfully my friend Mendy, who I grew up with in Elkton, has a 2 year old and another on the way at the end of June, has a great day care that she's used with Elle since she was 6 weeks old and she highly recommends it.

So, Ben and I toured the KB Kids Day Care Facility last night. It seems like total chaos to me, but I suppose it was controlled chaos. They keep kids from 6 weeks through kindergarten, they always have things for them to do and TV is not one of those things. They only get TV for 30 minutes only 1 day a week. Which seems weird compared to my preschool days filled with sesame street 4 times a day, but I think this will be good. They also start teaching them Spanish at like age 2, so crazy.

So, day care is checked off this list. I am so thankful that there are people out there that can be preschool and day care teachers because I was about to go nuts in the few minutes we were there.....just not my thing!

Another great thing about this day care is it's right off Hwy 231 on my way to work everyday, so it will be easy access. It's actually right near the last set of ghetto apartments we lived in while waiting to sell our house, which the area really isn't ghetto, the apartment complex was just cheap and not my idea of good living, but that's beside the point. It's a nice newer building and Ellie seems to have done really well there.

I also ran across these two webpages that have toys listed that are either 100% American made or at least ones NOT made in China. When I start registering I'm going to attempt to avoid crap made in China, it just annoys me. And I may not be able to avoid it entirely, but as much as possible.

So, try to avoid buying my child stuff from China! I don't think they can get anything right over there!
