So this morning I had my 2 year continuing inspection, no biggie-I thought, it was scheduled, everything was ready. I keep everything up to date so didnt even have to prepare much for it. HOWEVER, this was my first inspection with my new specialist! Took 2 1/2 HOURS!!!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!! My kids were cranky,hungry, all of the above by the time it was over! Just blows my mind that they think the kids won't need much from me for that long. My other lady was in and out in an hour tops, this one looked through every cabinet, checked every latch to make sure it worked, ugh!!!
Inspections!!!!!

I had one 6 yrs ago, when I moved to this house, that took forever. Finally, I told her to please do what she needed to do, but I had to get lunch on the table. She seemed irritated at first, then went back to her computer while I made lunch and got the kids ready to eat.
She was irritated with me because she didn't do her job right. I called her 3 times before I moved, telling her about when we would be moving, then calling and giving her our new phone number and address. She called 6 mos later to do an inspection, using our new phone number, but old address. I was in violation because she didn't come to do an inspection prior to the kids coming here. What more could I have done? I called her on 3 different occassions.
She's the one who popped me for toothpaste and handsoap in the bathroom.- Flag

Yes, in CA, you cannot have anything accessible to the kids that says "Keep out of reach of children". That means toothpaste, lotions, and handsoaps that have that on their labels have to be in a locked cabinet.
I knew it, but had forgotten about it.- Flag

Handsoaps? How do they wash their hands?! With water only? And most childcare providers are encouraged to have the children brush their teeth. How would they brush their teeth without tooth paste?- Flag

Yup that's the way they are in CA. I asked the same question about the handwashing and I was told that it had to either be locked or above 5 feet and out of sight. Every time we have to wash our hands I just pull it out of a high cabinet (in the bathroom). When we're in the kitchen I pull up a stepstool and we use the pump-soap dispenser. Rediculous, yes I know. We're also the ones that can't use excersaucers, walkers or bouncy chairs.- Flag

Can you use a pump dispenser in the bathroom? That is what I have in mine and they have never said anything but I'm not in CA so that may be a different rule all together.Each day is a fresh start
Never look back on regrets
Live life to the fullest
We only get one shot at this!!

I believe that it's one of the Dial soaps that doesn't say "Keep out of reach of children." I'll have to check.
IMHO, the bouncy seat and exersaucer rule is a bit silly. I understand not leaving them in it for an extended period of time, but for 15-20 mins, I thought it was great.- Flag
