Friday – The 100th Child

I took yesterday off to interview women to watch my 4 year old. It went better than I'd planned. In fact, it went too well.
I found two terrific women, and I have to turn one of them down today. I still can't make up my mind which one. Of the four people I visited, one was easy to dismiss, one was nice but not quite what I was looking for, and two were wonderful.
It's been almost 3 weeks since my 4 year old got thrown out of daycare. It took me this long to actually start contacting people. At first, I was so worried about his behavior issues – the biting, the physical assaults – that I was terrified to even try. But I've watched something happen in my son the last few weeks, and it helped me develop a game plan. After all my theories about what my son's issue might be, I've devolved theory number 1001, and I think he was not the problem. I think it was his teacher.
Isn't that just like a mother, to claim her child is perfect and the fault lies in the teacher?
( But wait, there's more... )
