Plei, try to get on the waitlist before the baby is born, if you can. It sounds crazy, but it does help.
Part of why we went with USC over UCLA for daycare was that both had year-long waiting lists, but at USC you could get on the list before the baby was born. Not at UCLA. Also there was the whole costing half as much thing, which was pretty much the clincher.

I think we'll discuss the options this weekend and see what all we can do. Daycare is in short supply (especially for infants) and often poor-quality in Washington State, so it's driving us nuts thinking about it. We have limited, expensive options, and no idea *when* we'd be needing it, on account of the uncertainty around me getting/having a job.
Also, we were out of all but instant oatmeal. So my oatmeal was a poor substitute for the real thing. Hmm. Still wanting cocoa.
this one reminds me of MM.
MM, your Heir Apparent is adorable and has very long fingers and a disturbingly thoughtful gaze.
