Luke's daycare

Dec 13, 2004 19:07

I guess this is a never ending thing, this parenting/worrying/concern thing. I guess I'm getting all this because he's pretty easy, as babies go, and sleeps well at night and has only really been sick once...

One of my daycare ladies was waiting for me, down the street from the daycare place, after work to talk to me. She told me about some things that the daycare lady (Ana) has done to Luke. At least twice when he cried because they opened the door and Luke wanted to go outside, he loves going outside, but they wouldn't let him, she brought him into the back room and he started crying. She said Ana said that Luke wouldn't be going out that day because he wouldn't behave and that he would sleep for the morning and put him down and he slept til 12:30 from 8:30. I know he won't sleep at home in the mornings anymore, so I doubt he would sleep, he's probably spend the whole time crying to be taken out. She said Ana hit him at least twice, but she didn't see it, that it was in the other room. And she told me a couple other things. I thought that maybe she is looking to leave and is looking for business for herself, but she said she's pregnant and will be quitting in a month and won't really be watching kids afterwards except occasionally. She did say she could give me references of other people she knew though. I don't know what to believe. Luke seems happy there. When we walk in and Ana puts out her arms he'll run to her. If she hit him he wouldn't do that, right? He's show signs of not wanting to go there, yet he willingly walks by himself up to the door, I don't even have to hold his hand. I've never seen any marks on him. My mom says to take all this with a grain of salt. But I can't in good conscience ignore it either. I don't know what to do and right now is not the best time to have to deal with this. My mom thinks this girl is jealous. Maybe Ana is letting her go and she's mad at her. I don't know. I hate this. I wanted her to take Katie when I return to work too. I guess this is why they say staying at home and watching our kids is the best thing for them. I talked to Jack for a few this evening, but he's working tonight so couldn't talk long. He said maybe we could bug Luke to see if we hear anything. I'd think she'd find anything we put on him. He watches too much TV. But we're going to talk about it when he comes home tonight, hopefully not too late, sometimes its not until 11.
