Today has been a giant whirlwind. I got up this morning and proceeded to call about 10 different daycares (both corporate and home) and wound up with only two choices that had openings, one of which I ruled out pretty quickly. I chose to believe the reason for the limited choices was because this was where God wanted us - he was just making the hunt shorter and weeding out all the no's. We went and visited this morning and both Kyle and I felt positive about it. I made sure to ask tons of questions and I didn't beat around the bush with my questions. This time, I wanted to make sure they had good answers for everything. It's amazing, too, how much more you know to ask after the baby arrives. I met the teachers and they seemed very friendly and very capable. I feel much better leaving him there tomorrow. I'm just praying that this is the right place for Everett.
I called our old place to let her know we wouldn't be returning. The owner did, in fact, confirm that 2 of her employees smoke and that they take smoke breaks throughout the day. I'm positive this is where the other caretaker must have been when I arrived, since she returned smelling of smoke. The owner admitted that she may have made a mistake hiring smokers, and that hopefully losing Everett because of it would push them to quit. I let the other issues slide; it was awkward enough as it was. I just wanted to get out and move on.
Tomorrow Everett tries out the new place. Please pray that it goes well!
