The Positive Thread

[Annalee]

Praise the good....I've been leaving my 'life's work-laptop' in the daycare room for several weeks after closing....occasional weekend work late-night.....I have a computer where I check out the sports, news, forum, etc. but no daycare work; AND I'm -Call-me-crazy- BUT I'm working more on family-engagement with families.....beginning with a zoom (quarterly zooms are the plan with 2 annually in-person w/kids at a park/zoo/etc).

TWO POSITIVES for FRIDAY! Now, normally, I'm the one that when things seem good, I'm waiting on the bomb to hit but trying not to go there today!

My daycare now has three family member's families so I'm using them as my connectors; they are all about social connections as they all work from home now!

Thanks, EJ! Just completed my visit and it went well.....I really like the QRIS set-up now....much more of a team-friendly approach!

Praying for a good day; didn't sleep last night at all; got a few things lingering in my head as a mom!.......went to the gym at 4 AM for an hours as I wanted to alleviate some stress and that helped but still very sleep-deprived!!!!! Licensing coming this afternoon....only 7 kids today which tells me my prayers are heard....I CAN DO THIS!

Started a new infant (3 month old) today. So far so good! Falls asleep easily and has had two decent naps already. I'm always a little nervous starting little ones do to some experiences with parents not preparing them for daycare (attachment parenting, co-sleeping, etc). Parents have her on a good routine at home. Fingers crossed it stays this way!

AND now for some March Madness; one of my favorite sporting events...Dad and my brothers and I would watch this together when we were growing up and beyond......Fun memories!

That sounds so good right now. Enjoy!

It's amazing how much impact one or two kids can have on us as providers and the other kids in the group.
