the manager at percy's day care centre called me today. whenever i see that name come up on my mobile my heart misses a beat as i anticipate bad news- percy's fallen and busted something, they've called an ambulance, can i meet them at the hospital, percy's gone missing, percy choked, percy beat the hell out of another kid... i think i think about it too much. in truth, only two or three of the telephone calls from day care have been negative, even then it's been she's got a cold and we should collect her as soon as possible, and one bang on the head that her gp gave the ok to.
back to today's call. you may recall as of next week we had planned to do a child care shuffle between day care, grandparents and me. well now we need not. yippee! a place has become available for percy to revert to her four day attendance (wednesday's at home) in her new room, from next week. i must say i am very pleased. i was not looking forward to driving 6 hours every week just so i could go to work for 8.
speaking of being in her new room, i think she is taking to it very well. her new primary teacher is very sweet and says that percy is a princess- or is she just being nice to us nervous "newbie" parents? percy has been saying these last two days "stay downstairs" and she hasn't been bothered that her usual routine of putting her nappies in the cupboard and raffles in bed has been abandoned. in her new room the beds are stacked up until they are needed, so it's impossible to tuck raffles in on arrival in the morning, as we had been doing upstairs where there is a dedicated sleep room and the beds and cots are left out.
this morning she took a deal of pleasure and importance in showing me where her new locker is and telling me where i should fold and hang her stroller up out of the way. she hasn't been very forthcoming about what she does all day, or who she played with- we ask her every evening, often over dinner, but i expect that will come with time.
