Lya started day care like a week ago and gosh golly, it made such a BIG difference in my life because I get to sleep in in the mid morning, when she is at her most active.
I was worried about the usual suspects. Contamination in the playground, Lya adjusting to the teachers and children but she prove to be the light of the group. If not, one of the most playful kids around.
It has been working so well because the entire household gets to rest in the mid mornings and when she comes home, all we need to do is feed her, bath her and put her for her afternoon naps.
Hopefully, I can managed her speech and table manners. Social skills might be improved on. So much so, I intend to send her in every day till November and slowly ease back by December.
I do need the extra sleep. Honestly, I managed her better when I am rested and well adjusted. Having the burden of nursing Tyler at wee mornings. I am torn between nursing and turning to the bottle ( formula) because it is much easier and so accessible.
But prevailing and being fair to both kids are my main goals. I managed to nurse Lya till 13 months and that was an only child. Handling two kids is like managing a multinational company, it takes a lot of effective management and I am yet to be proven capable.
But the child care for now, is such a brilliant option. Since I can;t really ship a maid from KL to Melbourne, this is the best option available...
