Milestone: Daycare

Yesterday, Maïa started daycare. With Mum working part-time from home, we needed to find a solution to the problem of the shortage of time (take care of a toddler and a preschooler, work from home, sleep... all in 24 hours?? get real...). After a thorough search of the neighbourhood facilities, and some luck thrown in, Maïa landed a spot in a reputable daycare not 10 minutes by foot from home. We are incredibly blessed to be living in Québec, the land of cheap daycare (and blackouts, too).

So it was with a little sadness that Maïa left her preschool on Thursday. Her friends at the YMCA preschool will be missed, as will her teacher, Kim. Maïa really blossomed in the short two months she was there. Hopefully, after a little bit of adjustment, she will do just as well at her new daycare.

Although the daycare has some great programs (including dance and classical music), it does not have a swimming program. So for now, we are retiring the famous bathing cap, but not before posting it here for everyone to see.
