ended up with an almost ideal daycare solution. lady is starting a new daycare (already licensened) and my son will be the first kid in the daycare! he'll be alone for a week or two til the others come online. that will be real nice for him to get the attention. its a bit spendy by area standards (actually in a "nice" part of town ) but everything is brandnew. best thing about it is that she goes to a church that my girlfriends has several close friends who go to. this lady ran their daycare at church and on of my girl's friend's daughter worked with her at that. she got rave reviews from everyone involved. so i think its gonna be ideal.
Great news. Now if only DC's stadium issues could be worked out so perfectly. Maybe you should offer your mediation services to DCU and the mayor's office. But, seriously, congratulations.
