This will be our last week of KinderCare. Tyoma has been away from the center for three weeks and he is doing so well. I admit, I will miss the 12 hours of free time and I do wonder how I will cope with nonstop caretaking.
Without relatives to give a reprieve, will I perish from overwork or grind myself into depression? Naw. But I was grateful to family and KinderCare when I was ill with the flu. My feeblest efforts were not enough, and Tennisfiend had to work.
I guess that's why so many kids come to Kindercare sick. Other parents struggle, too. Tyoma seems so health and happy. This is the right decision. My only worry now is how to keep him interacting with other kids. He spazzes out at the public library. Story times don't hold his interest and he runs off. Crowded playgrounds make him cry. I will call the Russian babysitter with two young daughters and see what we can do. It's a start.
