When it rains it pours (daycares)…
In all fairness to the craziness that is infant daycare in DC, we did get a call from another daycare provider yesterday. They had a slot available for Morgan starting in mid-September. This daycare (which will remain unnamed) was in no way superior and in several ways inferior to the daycare we have with Small Savers. So, obviously we’re sticking with Small Savers. I just thought it was interesting that we did, in fact, get another slot offered to us. (I applied to 19 different daycares. Small Savers was always a favorite and I feel extremely fortunate that we got in.)
Shortly after Morgan’s birth, my least favorite daycare came through with a slot for Morgan as well. We actually turned that one down without any other options available to us at the time. It was a depressing place.
