I love our daycare :)

Top 10 reasons that I LOVE our daycare arrangement!

10. They have WAY more toys than we do! We're slowly building our supply, but this way Mitchell gets a little variety.

9. She always says "He's such a good baby!" I know it's not always true...but it still makes me feel good. Can you imagine picking up your baby and having his babysitter say "he was awful today" - talk about making you feel terrible!!!!

8. She's not annoyed when I call to check on him during the day. Although I'm calling less and less these days because I know he's doing fine.

7. Lindsey packs cookies in our diaper bag sometimes :) When I reach into to get his dirty laundry for the day, I'm sometimes pleasantly surprised to find a little bag of homemade cookies for Jacob and I. Yum!

6. She washes Mitchell's bottles for me. I know this seems like such a small thing....but it's one less thing I have to do when I get home! I leave her the new bottles for the next day when I drop Mitchell off, and throw the clean bottles that she gives me into my purse for work the next day. It is great!

5. I had a really cute little outfit on Mitchell last Friday because we were going to the Home Show right after work. Mitchell soiled his t-shirt and instead of changing him into his plain little onesie that I packed in his diaper bag, Lindsey dug out a t-shirt of her boys' that she had packed away. She knew I wanted him to look cute that day. Isn't she nice?!?!?

4. Jacob and I carpooled on Friday. When we went to pick him up in the afternoon, Mitchell was down for a nap, so Lindsey uncorked a bottle of wine and Jacob and Mark (Lindsey's husband) drank a few beers. WOW - our version of "Friday happy hours" have really changed!!!

3. Mitchell is sooo cute with her two little boys. He smiles at them constantly and watches them wherever they go. (Xavier is 2 and Isaac is 1)

2. She's been working with him on tummy time, reaching for objects and self soothing during nap time. All of them seem to be paying off. Mitchell is SOOOO much easier to put down for a nap and for bedtime now! It might just be his age, but I think it's also because Lindsey has been working with him.

1. I don't feel guilty for leaving Mitchell during the day. I know he's with someone that will take VERY good care of him, and he's always so happy when I pick him up!
