Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe sweet potato tastes like boobie?

I've heard (and vaguely remember) the cantalope juice thing-- sweet potatos aren't wildly different. Maybe mom juice tastes like sweet beta carotene.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sweet potatoes are kinda good, I can see why she likes them. So far, there haven't been any foods that Isaac has disliked, although he was a wee bit indifferent to green beans. But everything else has been serious yummers as far as he is concerned.

Nope.

Ah, but maybe sweet potato tastes like boobie to a baby.

What are their infant rates?

$1233/month. It drops to $997 for "transitional," which I believe is 12-18 months, $883 for toddlers, and $810 for preschool.

Though there's a 10% discount for two or more siblings, I'd need to be making serious money for having two in daycare to make sense. I think nannies start becoming better options once you're looking at 2 or more kids.

I'm exhausted just thinking what my life will be for the next few years. This will be my life for the forseeable future--working, writing, and trying to be a decent wife and mother.

Once more unto the breach....

It's a grind, Susan, though it does ease up over time.

But it is very tough finessing work/commute/baby. Especially when both parents are working full time. It's just fucking hard.

And yeah, childcare for little poots is like an extra rent/mortgage payment.

Hmm. On the low end in terms of price.

Wonder if they have slots.

(Though the out of our way factor weighs against them.)

Those prices aren't bad. Which is why we only have part time daycare even though it is breaking me to teach a full time workload on part time daycare.

Yup. The prices are typical to slightly low for this neighborhood. It's run by a Salvation Army church, so there's some religious content involved, but it's not hardcore indoctrination and doesn't seem much different from what she'll get in Sunday School at church, so that wasn't an issue for us. What I really liked about it is that the space is roomy--most of the places I toured it seemed like the kids were just crammed into the space and the playgrounds were tiny, but this one is nice and spacious.

Also, they provide breakfast, lunch, and snack, which is a plus. One place wanted you to feed the kid breakfast before arrival and to pack a lunch and snack according to very specific guidelines. If I'm going to have limited Annabel time, I'd rather spend it playing with her than trying to figure out how to pack a reasonably varied diet of foods she'll eat according to the center's exacting standards.
