day care blues

So, although i didn't go back to work this sept. 09, I am truly hoping to get back next school year. I would have gone this year but I feel that Andrew still needs some extra time and attention with his therapy that he won't get in day care......

Still, I felt the need to at least start seeking out options for next year in the hopes he will be fully if not mostly recovered...well, did i hit an unforeseen snag!
It turns out that the day care that i was planning on sending the boys to won't take Andrew if he isn't walking by then. (he will be just short of 2 yrs old.) Although in my mind I suspected this might be the case, I guess confirming it was a somewhat hard to digest....They wouldn't even take him in the younger group...not that i want to separate him from Jesse but I was still checking my options.....

Thank you to all out there who made some wonderful suggestions and sent me in the direction for some alternatives...i will check them all out:) That's what this is all about, sharing information and for those of you who have, that info has been invaluable!
Thanks so much, and to all the teachers out there who just went back, good luck and appr. 82 days till Christmas break, lolol:)

It's sept:(

So, like every other teacher in the world, I feel this is the week of reckoning:) Work starts next week and Although I will not be joining my fellow educators I feel that same doom, excitement "man, this summer went fast" feeling:) I guess this summer has been so great due to all the company I have had and now that everyone is going back to work I'm sad and feeling like I have a long winter ahead of me....

This past winter I did not get out of the house much at all..I found it very difficult to pack up two infants and travel anywhere there wasn't an extra adult around to help out....Now that the boys are bigger I'm hoping to get out, join a class, meet some more moms, etc...... People always would say, well I had kids a couple years apart, i hauled them around etc....For those of you out there in that situation, let me tell you...It's not the same...Now, I'm not saying it's easier or harder, just not like having two babies that need to be carried around everywhere....Which brings me to the point of today's blog.

Interestingly enough, I will now know how that feels. Under normal circumstances both my boys would be getting more mobile, crawling and in the next couple of months walking around the house....I will not experience this due to Andrew's impediment....Now Jesse crawls around the room, and Andrew plays with his toys...soon, I will be able to take Jesse by the hand and help him navigate through the world from his three foot high bird's eye view while I hoist Andrew back up onto my hip....i find this so ironic as I have been telling people throughout the boys lives that twins are just different to care for especially in their infant stage. Who knew I'd get to experience both sides of this coin.....
