The 9-month old baby at Noah's daycare left yesterday. So now it is Noah and the two toddlers. Grant said he saw the baby's parents saying good-bye to our daycare woman and she seemed really sad. I will say, it is clear to me that this lady really cares about the kids she watches, which makes me feel better about leaving Noah with her.
The baby left because they finally made it into the UCI daycare system. Noah is also on this waiting list. We have been on this waiting list since I was 8-weeks pregnant. That means we have been on the list for 1-year. I just went in the other day and there are still about 20 people ahead of Noah. Twenty people! Twenty people have to leave UCI before Noah can go there. And this doesn't include the fact that really poor people and people who already have children going to a UCI daycare facility get priority, i.e. get to skip over us. So, I'm guessing we'll finally reach the top of the list sometime next fall or winter...when we will likely (and hopefully) not be at UCI anymore. Fantastic! This situation infuriates me because UCI just redid the Infant/Toddler daycare center last year. If the waitlist is nearly 2-years long, why wouldn't they have accounted for this and hired more staff?! Arg! Daycare, again, the bane of my existance.
