So, the first week of day care went really well. In fact, fantastically well, as in 'too good to be true-well'. Our weekend started out great, but was definitely marred by the fact that Finn did not feel well. Saturday night was miserable for us all and the poor guy ended up sleeping in our bed--which he NEVER does! On monday, Zar took Finn to the doctor and it turns out he had an ear infection. He was started on antibiotics and felt better right away. Both he and Maeve went to school on Tuesday, but at noon I got the call that Maeve was sick. So Tuesday night was spent with Maeve having a very high fever, shaking chills and sweats. We took her to the doctor this monring and she also has an ear infection.
I knew that both of the kids would be exposed to new germs at day care, but ear infections so soon? In the middle of the summer? What is going to happen in the fall when they go their new school? Talk about feeling major mommy guilt. You want to do everything and be everything for your family, but it just isn't possible. I am so torn because I know that Maeve needs the interaction of a school and learning center, but Finn is just so little and should be home with me just like Maeve was. I feel like no matter what, I am choosing between two wrongs, and I guess this is just preparation for a long road ahead of difficult decisions.
