New Daycare........again

Last week when Ryan picked up Bridger one evening the guy at the daycare had a talk with him about Bridger being aggressive and having a couple bad days. He did tell Ryan that they were "kicking" him out, and they were willing to work with us but I needed to talk to the director lady in the morning.

I went in the next morning, completely blind sided!! She called me in her office and said those dreaded words...."We have to ask him to leave"....my heart sank! Really!?! Is it that bad? I thought he was doing good? What is so bad? Why can't we work together? Is he really that kid?  It took everything I had to not just start bawling right then and there! She proceeded to talk to me and explain why Bridger was being asked to leave. She even said that she didn't have any "advice" for me at this time. I really felt defeated...again. She was kind enough to keep him that day - but Friday I was on my own.

As soon as I left there I just started crying...I couldn't help myself. I was so frusterated and just couldn't understand why it was so hard for Bridger or why nobody wants to help us and work with us. My baby is in someone elses hands for 10 hours a day...I really need someone willing to put for the the effort to help with what we can't in those 10 hours....its hard. I know he is a hard boy - head strong, stubborn beyond words, and short tempered....but he has a passion to learn knew things and determination to figure it all out. That has got to mean something in the discipline area?!?!

I stayed home with him Friday and Ryan actually did some calling and after a few fall thrus we found a lady that was willing to watch him in her home. She lives across the street from his cousin and we went and visited and felt like this was something we could try right now.

She is suppose to have 6 kids total - I'm not sure if that is including her own, but 6 total. Makes me kind of nervous. I would love a smaller group. Monday it was just him - he did great. Tuesday it was him and a 10 week old....great again. However today was another little girl around his age and I even picked him up early and he had just bit her! ugh! really? So when all 6 are going to be there - I'm really really nervous how that is going to turn out. All we can do is try. She said she is willing to work with him and try to figure out when he wants to bite, why he is biting, what is setting him off, what is the situation going on.....all these important things. I hope she can help pin point it...and maybe together we can think of a solution.

I know my baby is hard to handle but I never thought it would be this difficult just to find care for him. He really is the biggest sweetheart and I just hope that we can find a perfect fit and someone to see that side of him too.


Look how sweet this little baby boy is!! How can you not love him!!
