Preparing for Park Slope

[dragonsnow]

We left this morning at the asscrack of 7:30am to go out to Park Slope to check out a potential part-time daycare facility for Gabriel. According to the Honeydew Drop website the rates are super affordable, and they are just two blocks from our new apartment. Gabriel would go twice a week for half-days. He's gotten to the point where he needs way

Sounds great - perfect, actually! :)

Yeah, we were really blown away by how great the people were at this place. All the kids (who are all 4 months to 2 years old) were just so happy and active. (I read horror stories on some message boards about daycares where the kids sit in front of TVs all day and don't even look up when people go in and out of the room.) You could really tell that the people who work there truly love kids and know what they're doing. This one woman there, Tashi, scooped up Gabriel right away, and I thought he'd have a meltdown at being manhandled by a stranger, as he usually does. But he LOVED her! He kept grabbing her face and laughing. That makes me feel good about leaving him there for a few hours a week.

That really does sound great -- getting Gabriel out into his own social life will make him so happy, and totally tire him out at night, the added bonus LOL!! -Jodes
