Looking for daycare.
Maggie and I have been keeping an eye out for available daycares once her maternity leave is over. Pickings are pretty expensive downtown, with waiting lists long enough that kids will be going to school by the time they're accepted, and I do not want to overburden my parents for help even though they have offered to do so.
We do want Elsy to get exposed to other people and peers so that she can learn to socialize well and gain valuable skills (and exposure to various pathogens that should build up her immunity). However, we also want her to be exposed to more relatives as well so that she is comfortable, at least with my parents, so that if we need to drop her off in an emergency, there will not be a screamageddon when we are gone.
Prices for daycare are high here, and will become exorbitantly expensive once we start having more kids in the system. I guess we will need to figure out where and when to minimize our headaches, parental reliance, and wallet drain.
