My twin boys are due to have their first day at childcare this Tuesday. It looks like my dt1 is getting a cold! There is no way one will go without the other how am I going to break it to them they can't go?? It's all they've talked about for the last week!
Oh, bummer! :(
I'm not sure what the exact rules are with your daycare - or how sick your kiddies get with their colds, but my DDs daycare centre will take kids with a runny nose, as long as the child seems "themselves", and doesn't have fever, barking cough etc etc...
I think they figure that if you stopped every child who came with a runny nose there would never be any kids there! :rolleyes:
I would just see how he is - if the cold doesn't bother him, phone the daycare centre and check what their policy is.
Don't know how you can break it to them otherwise - maybe arrange to go somewhere special that day (to a park/beach?) to distract them? Or buy some stickers from a $2 shop, and have an arts and craft morning?
Good luck! :)
I do also understand though that you might prefer for him to be home with you if he has a cold, and to start daycare when they're both happy and healthy. Whatever you decide will be the right one for you!
Looks like he just had a bit of cold air sniffles! Seems fine today. Off to CC tomorrow!
Yay! :) I hope they enjoy themselves!
