    Starting in June I'm already raising my rates $5 a week for everyone. I think I'd lose everybody if I raised my rates 5 a day. I kind of do have to take the 4 yo back because she comes with a sister and I can't afford to lose 2 dcks. And don't ask me why but those 2 have kind of grown on me, even though they drive me crazy and are stubborn. So if I decided not to switch to 3 babies only, this is the line-up for the coming fall:
    5 yo dcg in Kindergarten coming after school and days off, her 2 yo sister FT
    4 1/2 yo dcb in FT prek but coming here after school/days off
    my 11 mo dcb will then be 15 mo FT
    and a new baby who will be 4 mo.

    Maybe it's just a rough patch I'm going through and the grass wouldn't be greener. You all have given me food for thought. And I also think as storybookending said, I may go a bit crazy having just littles to talk to all the time.
    Thank you for your replies. It helps so much when you hear others' perspectives.
