Fi - i have the kids in daycare atm, and they love it. And its nice for me to have a break. DHS is paying for mine at the moment (long story, helpful but a pain as well...) so the boys are in 3 days (mon thurs fri) and Anneliese 2 days (mon and thurs) so i get some time to regain my sanity, and get on top of the housework, and have some "me" time, but also get to spend some time with Anneliese, 1 on 1. The junies (baby buddies) have most meets on fridays, and a couple of us meet most weeks, so anneliese gets contact with other babies and me with friends. Its working for us, and the boys get to run around and burn off lots of energy. They are in from 8-4, so come home, baths dinner, spend some time having lots of cuddles, and then bed!! Sorry to ramble on
