Random.....

It hurts to see someone you love hurting, scared and confused.....we had a long talk and you opened up to me. It reminded me of how we were 6 years ago. I wish we were they way we used to be.....the openness we had. I will keep your friends family in my prayers.

Help, please.

When I decide to start this blog I thought that it was a way to be open, get my thoughts out and to get input from people in similar situations, but that has not happen. Mainly because I keep thinking of the effects that it might cause mostly to my daughter even though she is only 2 years old. I fear that it might have a negative effect on my daughter when she gets older. I know this will be long gone by the time she able to search the web. But I wonder did anyone have the similar thoughts when they first started? Do you not write about personal feeling that might affect your kids? I would love to hear from you.

Finding a school that….

• Accepts 2 yr olds - a lot of the schools around where I live are for the ages 3 and up.
• Good curriculum - I know kids get bored real easily which was one of the reasons why I was taking my daughter out Caregiver/babysitter environment. At first it was working out for me considering the cost was reasonable, she was a certified caregiver and my child loved her care giver because of the one on one attention. But I did notice that as Maliyah got older, she started acting differently. At one point she was the oldest child there and she soon started acting like a baby….wanting to be held , wasn’t interested in going to the potty anymore, not wanting to drink out of a cup. Maliyah had figured if she acted in this behavior she would get the attention that the babies were getting…which was not cool with me.
• Diverse background - Her caregiver was Hispanic spoke Spanish and VERY little English. That was the pro of having her as Malaya caregiver. That’s why I wanted to make sure that she would go to a diverse school. I still want to continue teaching her Spanish, but there aren’t at lot of schools in this area that teach Spanish to her age group.
• Close to my home & work – self explanatory.
• Room for growth – self explanatory.
• Good Environment – I visited this one school that I swear the kids were jumping off the walls. Here I was waiting for my tour to start and there these group of kids doing flips off the walls I which I could show you but yes they were doing Flips off the wall. And the poor after school teacher, felt so bad for her. But on top of that the way they talk to adults……I know you that some might think that I shouldn’t have made my decision based on that but there was soo much other problem with school too like that school had kids from 6wks to kindergarten and the building just seemed too small.

Fingers Crossed

I think I found a school for Maliyah. More on that later.

The beginning…..

I have been a blog reader for many months now just reading and browsing and finally got the courage to start my own. I know I’m late on this but here we go…..

*Please bare with me….especially since I am new.

This blog is based on me and my daughter and occasional mention of her father. Just kidding, let me get of that negative vibe. Please stay tuned to the ups and downs of our lives.

P.S. And a lot of random pics of my daughter. She's my heart <3>
