I couldn't get over the last incident at daycare. I'm very nonconfrotational. My dad suggested I calmly sit down and talk to them about my concerns. I get flustered and easily talked out of how I feel so I know they would be able to calm me down with no action. Then, he said he could go with me. That's nice but I'm a grown up so this is really something AJ and I should handle as her parents. Lastly, he said write a letter. Having things written down really makes it official. I'm not spouting off out of anger. I thought about it and laid it all out for them. It was a page and a half long. I put it in business terms also throwing the things they said to me back at them. Like if she were handling your books would you just say oh someone would catch her mistakes eventually, and so on.
This got their attention. They transferred her to the older toddler room which doesn't affect either of my children. I'm satisfied with this decision. I was so afraid we would be kicked out or she would be fired. I don't think I could have handled that guilt. I love both of Charleigh's teachers now. :)
I'm looking for a new book also. Suggestions?

The Book
Well, I finished Water for Elephants. It was such a good book. I completely fell in love with Rosie. She is an elephant. Some of Rosie's experiences were based directly off of events that happened to a few other elephants in the 1900s.
Every time I finish a book I wish it would go on. I really wish that J. K. Rowling would keep on with Harry Potter. I could read about those characters forever. Since it has ended all I can do is reread the series so I do.

An update about daycare. Everything has been going so well (as far as I know) for weeks now. Wednesday I was in the room (granted it was a chaotic day because the infant room flooded from the rain Tuesday and we were moved to the young toddler room) and that woman mistook another child (Catherine) for Charleigh again. I was giving Charleigh a bottle and talking to another teacher on the other side of the room and this woman has Catherine in Charleigh's bed, with Charleigh's pacifier, and Charleigh's blanket. I realize this because she is patting "Charleigh's" back and telling her, "It's ok Charleigh." I stood there thinking this is not happening. I am watching this delusional woman truly believe that that baby is mine. I told the teacher I was talking to to please let her know that that is not Charleigh and remove the pacifier and wash it well. I told the owner... again. She told them to really pay attention to names blah blah blah. WTF! When I called back and she told me this, I corrected her. She didn't misread anything. She picked up another human being and thought it was someone else. I told her that I guess that would have gone on all day. What else is she not paying attention to? My Dad suggested that I ask the daycare if they would trust her with their books. I doubt they would let her handle their money so why do they allow her to handle completely dependent human lives? Although I know this isn't a reading problem, I did all that I feel like I can. I ordered 3 bibs with her name of them, 4 bottle labels (the little bracelets for bottles), 1 tag for her diaper bag, and had 8 onesies monogrammed. This is a fabulous Child Care Center, except for this woman. The way they are handling the situation is causing me to lose faith in them. I don't know where I'm going to go from her, but I want to strangle her.
