Maria's last day with her wonderful amazing loving kind flexible affordable convenient daycare was today. I'm so sad. Her providers have always been great - they clearly love Maria and she was so comfortable there - AND they've been happy to use the cloth diapers. Sadly, his mother is aging and ill... and lives in Barbados. So they are packing up their lives (along with a 2 year old and a 12 year old), closing their business, renting out their house and moving to the flipping West Indies.
Fortunately, we have another great friend who is a hospice nurse who only works weekends. She also loves Maria (let's face it, who doesn't?) and has graciously stepped in to care for her 3 days a week, and our children's surrogate grandparents will watch Maria on Tuesday. She'll stay with me on Fridays, as normal. We are so blessed to have people who love our family. Being away from all of our relatives makes it hard sometimes, but God has provided people to fill the gap - and for that we're so thankful.

How fortunate that Maria had such a good start with her first daycare family, AND, how fortunate to have such a wonderful church famiy that she will continue to have good care. Doors open, they close and open again! This nana wishes she lived closer!
It's too bad that Maria has to leave such a wonderful daycare. I'm glad she's got such a good backup though.
How sad! I'm glad you have found someone else good to take care of her, though.
