Christine, I think there were 6 or 7 nannies.

I hope the headache doesn't come back, Karen! I'm guilty of getting snappy too. I think I create some of the drama though by not setting firm boundaries with the kids. Trying to work on it!

There are some days where I feel the same way. That I'm much too hard on A for no good reason.
At least you have a warning for your migraines and can try to fend it off.

Our elementary school has only one small neighborhood that can walk because of where the school is located. So it's 90+% bussed. And even though she has am kindy the first day is in the afternoon. I guess that's so parents can ride the bus and only kindy kids are on the bus.

Or it would be nice to have someone to chat with on the walk.

How is Dylan doing, Christine? I hope you're getting lots of rest in this sleepy baby phase! (Of course, I never did. I used the time to shop and organize.)

We are reaching the part where I hear things I say to her. Last week she was talking to someone and a neighbor (adult) asked her a question. So she tells the adult "excuse me. Do you not hear me talking?". Yup. That's me to her verbatim. Good thing the neihbor has a sense of humor. And kids.

Yeah, Addison's first day of school is only for 1 hour, and the parents stay the whole time. IDK yet if I'll make her stay at school in the Y program that day. I'll probably just take her home with me, unless all her friends are staying. I hope she ends up having a few of her preschool friends in her kindy class. I know there are several going to her kindy....but no idea if she will be in class with them.
