Daycare update....since I know you are all waiting with baited breath!

He has been moved to another classroom at the same place....he bit on Monday and on Tuesday so they moved him on Wednesday. He's with 3yos and so far is doing great! There are 2 teachers in this room, and they seem to like him. They seemed VERY nervous about having a youngin' (he'll be 2 next month) around the "big kids." And they were kinda freaked about the cloth diapers.....but they seem very impressed with him. They tell me he's polite and helpful and can totally hold his own on the playground. He colors, helps pick up, and does everything they expect of the older kids. I'm cautious to get too excited about this....but at least he's gone almost 3 days without biting! These new teachers even seem kinda surprised that he's been biting. One said "you just gotta watch 'em" and "he likes to be busy." So again, now I'm not sure if I should plan to move him, or to just continue to take it day by day. I'm going to try to talk to the director today and she what her thoughts are. I don't have a problem with keeping him in a class of older children.....maybe he's just that smart! He is, after all, MY child!!

Baby news, I had a 1.5 day period of swelling (hands and feet)....VERY mild, but of course I FREAKED! My mom freaked a bit with me, Russ was wholly unhelpful, but thankfully Fiddlegirl was there to talk me down! She said to rest and drink lots of water and to call the doc if it didn't go away in a couple of days. It went away!! And I feel fine! Thank goodness!

And work news, they say they are going to make changes in staffing and job descriptions.....and they want me to write it all up! Yesterday I spent a few hours with the manager hammering out new evaluation forms....keeping in mind where we want everyone to grow to...ie in veterinary knowledge, skills, and customer service. Lately I've been feeling like the whole reason we were sent to this town was so that I could fix this clinic! I'm glad they are finally seeing the light....and I hope that they implement all these changes they want me to draw up! And they've switched to my pre-anesthetic protocol. Yes their reason was cost driven, but I don't care because I feel it's better medicine!

My u/s appt is scheduled for Aug 19. I can't wait to see this little one and maybe find out the gender! Less than a month away!
