My multiple food allergy kid is going to kindergarten and so is my ultra picky eater! I'll miss them....BUT menus are going to be so fun! Oh.....I didn't change a thing for picky eater.....but Will not miss the staring at me or wanting to talk nonstop instead of eating.

Replaced a very difficult toddler with an absolutely joy to care for dcg with great parents who are easy to work with. The rest of my group has been with me for 1-4.5 years and are happy and loving kids. I'm really excited to have the group I have this year.

Also *knocks on wood* all of them are super nappers. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. HeheComment

Come September 6 I will have a whole new group of kids. Two infants. I'm looking forward to a change after having two dcks since they were 6 weeks old and never bonded with me after almost 2 years here.Comment

I am still trying to fill on sept spot. The rest will have all been with me 1.5-3 years. If I can't fill the spot with a new 2-4 year old I will take a sibling infant that is due in sept and needing care in December. I have had lots of calls, interviewed a few families. Waiting to here back from a family I really like (have provided drop in care to for a year now) but they aren't sure they can consistently make my close time work. I hate the waiting. Even though I get several emails or phone calls a week and add a few to my wait list each month, I am always TERRIFIED people will stop coming and we will have no money. So stressful!
To the original question - It will be mostly the same group. There is one stinker (my moaning myrtle) but over all they play well and ALL the parents are great

One DCG is starting AM Pre-K this year, otherwise same group as I had when the summer started. As much as I like the school agers (especially the 2 that are mine
) I'll be glad to have my "normal" program back in 2 weeks.

I can't wait for my eldest to go to K this year. No more older kids! Life will be so much easier with only littles.Comment

After school starts, I'll have 5 dcgs. My most challenging one at the moment is starting Prek ft so I won't see much of her. And then if all goes okay, I'll have an infant starting in Nov. some time. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one and praying for a good outcome because her ultrasounds are showing little growth. Hoping she's just going to be a small baby.
And naptime?? Yikes, it isn't what it used to be.

I hear you! Sometimes I have a child that no matter what, I just don't connect with them as easily or as smoothly as I do others. It makes it hard sometimes but I try to remember that it's not my job to necessarily bond with them. As long as they still feel safe, secure and cared about while here, it's all good.
That's not to say I don't look forward to the change then when they do age out...... I have a family of 3 right now that I just love the younger two kids but the oldest one is just not same.
They will leave for Kindy this fall and I am excited about just having the younger two simply because they seem to behave a lot differently when older sib is not around.
I also think for me, families seem to have an "expiration date" where after so many years, I just look forward to change when they leave for both good and not so good reasons.Comment
