James has a daycare space almost next door to [livejournal.com profile] zenten 's work in a licensed daycare facility. This makes me happy. And they're smuggling him in under the 18-month mark because he's so awesome (they're allowed to have 2 kids under the age of 18 months).

Yes, it's more expensive than what we've been paying, but there will be
a) Solid Foods
b) Milk and ample fluids
c) Outside Time
d) Lots of kids
e) Tons of toys
f) A structured day with lots of free play
g) A place to dump all his crap so we don't have to carry it to and from every day or worry about the care provider allowing other children to play with his diapers
h) Arts and crafts
i) sand table
j) water table
k) Rock-A-Bye Bob Marley
l) a guaranteed place for him until he's school aged
m) SNACKS!!
o) kiddie computers
p) phones and keyboards
q) circle time
,,,
you get the point

and [livejournal.com profile] zenten  will be able to drop off and pick up James if necessary, which is important since I could potentially have to work overtime, and overtime pay is nice, and right now I can't because I have to go pick up James, and get an earful about how I should be raising my son. 

But first, I have to have the conversation with his current daycare provider... ... ... can I pay anyone to do this for me?

Awesome, good luck!

Sure. I've got all kinds of overly assertive non-compassionate type energy built up. Might as well put it to good use. =)

that's fantastic! I know you were worried about the eating and the snotty situation at your new place. I'm really glad you two found something that seems to be perfect (a realist's sense of perfect that is).

This sounds wonderful! He'll have a great time.

Give me her phone number. "You're fired. Buh-bye."

Congrats on finding such a great-sounding place, and so close to Josh's work! I understand from friends here with their own babe that a good daycare is like the Holy Grail.

Good luck with the transition; I just hope the current provider isn't a bitch about it.

Sounds purrrr-fect!

I know that it's polite to give notice ahead of time, but this may be one instance where late notice plays to your favour if you have any doubts about how James will be treated in the interim.

If it's something you are concerned enough over, then it is worth your peace of mind to do what is right for your babe.

Best of luck!
