Decisions, Decisions

Well Drake's 3 days of daycare experience wasn't great. It was way harder than I thought it was going to be. He cried, I cried....and I worried all day about how he doing. Rachel and his teacher said he did okay and that it would just take some time to adjust and he would be fine, so I was sad but prepared myself for the transition. Then a coach Bo works with said we needed to take Drake to a lady where they take their 2 yr. old daughter. So I called her, met her, and am happy about the possible decision for Drake to stay with her instead of go to daycare. She watches 2 other kids, so Drake would be her 3rd and final kiddo to watch as she does have one more come two days a week. The great thing about her is that she lives really close to Bo's school, so Bo will be able to take Drake in the morning at a much better time (8:00), instead of Drake having to leave with me at 6:30.....
I am happy about him not having to commute with me, he has been a trooper and done it for a year and half....but as he is older he gets a little more bored in the car.

So I am hoping that this is the right decision to make...I have been going back and forth for the past few days trying to decide what is best for Drake....and it is so stressful! I have been an emotional wreck. Just when I think the in home daycare will be great, then I start to wonder if he would be better at daycare where my nephews are and closer to my work....I just don't know. I have two more days to try and make a decision...and hope that it's the right one.

These are the days that being a parent is SOOOO hard. So that is what is going on here in the Taylor household....stress! haha, well only from me, Bo is of course "fine with whatever I decide."
Okay well I got some venting out...time for bed! Will update on Monday what decision was made and how his day was!

Fun Summer

So here it is the end of July and I am bloggin again! Can't believe how fast this summer has gone. It has been filled with fun and crazyness! Bo starts back to work next week....and I have two more weeks off.

We went to Six Flags today and had fun! Even though it was hot, we found shade and went indoors to cool off in between rides. Drake was so good...he rode several rides! Of course only rides with Mommy and Daddy..haha. Mommy is not ready for him to ride by himself, Bo kept trying to put him on rides by himself and I was so worried, but luckily when Bo asked him if he wanted to ride it he said no. So we rode the carousel, train, and boat ride together, then I rode a truck ride with him and Bo rode a airplane ride with him. Fun, fun!

Drake will be starting daycare this school year so that will be interesting to see how that goes. Luckily he is at the same daycare that Noah, and Emerson (my nephews) are going to and Rachel will be there part time. He will be in the 2 year old room with 10 other kids, and 2 teachers. I am happy about the low ratio and always two teachers. I am of course worried about his behavior. On playdates this summer he has not been the nicest to his friends, so I am not sure how he will do when he is surronded by 10 other 2 year olds.....oh my! I am sure it will be hard at first but once he gets used to it I think he is going to love it! We already have been asking him if he wants to go to school like Noah and he says yes. So we shall see...will have to keep you updated on that....haha.

I am entering my 5th year of teaching first grade! I have loved my summer but honestly I am ready to be back on a routine and schedule.

I am posting some pics here on this post, but also will put some on our online album...so check out what we have done this summer! Oh yeah, one more thing...I got a new car! I LOVE IT! It is a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse! It is nice and roomy! :)

Summer is here!

Can't believe it is the end of June! This summer is going too fast. We are enjoying it though. Being home with Drake everyday has been fun but also challenging since we are at the "terrible twos" stage. I added some pics on our online album on some of the things we have done so far this summer and of our new wood floors! Check them out!
