Hi Bec

The childcare centre that Maria is going to is new, that is why we were able to get her in so quick, in the Eastern Suburbs you can wait for years to get into some centres. There is a website which will help you look for centres in your area (contact me & I would be happy to pass on the address), it really helped me to find what was available close to home and work. She will be going on Tuesday and Wednesday from 8.30am to 5.30pm, I think this is refered to as long day care. They provide everything for her (except EBM), even nappies.

Maria seems to like her swimming, she kicks in the water now and will also kick a ball around the pool. It tires her out for ages. I take her to Maroubra Swim School as it is close by, has small classes and takes babies under 6 months old.

Talk to you soon
