Mrs. Tracy's Daycare

We are offically one week into our new daycare routine! As most of you know my little sister Danielle has been our nanny since Aiden was 8 weeks old. She has done a fabulous job with him but she is about to have a little one of her own so we were happily forced to find a new day care provider. This wasn't easy..but I found a wonderful woman who came higly recommended by a mommy in my neighborhood. She runs a licensed daycare center out of her home. It's only been a week but we are very happy with everything so far. Aiden seems to be adjusting well too, although he really isn't able to tell us otherwise right now.

Financially it's a bit of a strain but we will make it work. Due to Luke's schedule, he will get to spend 6 whole days a month with Aiden so that will save us a little $$ and Aiden will get quality daddy time too!

On a side note...we have stopped swaddling Aiden at night and we are giving the Ferber sleep technique a try. Last night was the first night and he fell asleep after only 10 minutes of fussing (not crying). I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

We did CIO (crying it out/ferber method) with Michael around Aiden's age and it worked for all of us!! He goes to sleep so well on his own, which is heavenly. As much as I loved rocking him to sleep, I knew that Peggy would not be able rock Michael every time he needed a nap.

I hope things are going well with his new sitter!!

He's such a cutie, Noelle!!

Love,
