Friday will be Shane's last day at day-care.
Carrie will begin working part time next week!
At first, Carrie will be have normal office hours twice a week. Shane's Elders+Dog Conglomerate (IndyPopPopNanaJama) will watch over him then.
Eventually, the job will transition to more evening work and Carrie will switch to a day-shift with Shane. Depending on when she has to report to work, I will either be coming home after four or Carrie will be meeting up with me at school for a hand-off.
It's all very much up in the air as to what will actually happen and what we will actually do.
The bottom line is: we'll make it work!
Shane will (mostly) be happy. He doesn't like going to day-care in the mornings, but he loves running over to the blocks when we get there. His teacher normally leaves them out for him. He often sings songs he's learned from music time, as well. Lately it's been "Days of the Week" to the tune of "The Adams Family."
Carrie and I won't miss paying $345 a week, though! Carrie will have to find local programs and play-groups to keep him occupied during the day!
Shane's going to play hooky tomorrow to visit Gran-Gran (a possible name for Grandma Lois?) and Thursday will be his last day-care visit from Georgeanne. She'll stop working with Shane on his third birthday this December.
Lots and lots of change is on the way. I think kids take the change quotient in your life, quadruple it, add two, and then square it.
Phew daycare is expensive. Sounds like he learned things from it, but I bet it'll be good to not have to spend that money!
