Sad times at the Wellnitz house. Shannon has decided to stop watching Petie (and subsequently Chloe). I can't say that I blame her. Her own kids will now be in school full time in the fall (I can't believe Molly is that old!) and she is looking to get some of her own life back. I can't blame her and yet as I told her, we still get to be sad about it for at least a few weeks, if not longer. I plan on being bummed about this all summer. Thank god Petie's sense of time and permanence isn't quite fully developed and I don't really have to tell him yet. I don't even want to know how Jake will react. I've already cried and could barely eat last night after getting the news (that is big for me!). Kev is of course being the the strong one. We'll see.
I just couldn't have asked for a better situation for the past 2 1/2 years. Shannon has been amazing, not to mention the interaction Petie has had with his cousins. Just the best.
Anyway, are hoping to get Petie into Wee Works in the fall which would be a perfect fit. He already knows everyone there from picking up Molly with Shannon one day a week for his entire life and he loves it there. Let's just pray they have the room to squeeze him in. As for Chloe, we are on the hunt for the perfect day care situation for our yet to be born perfect daughter. Petie was spoiled with private school and Chloe will have to be our public school infant. They turn out okay too right? I know it will all work out, just bear with me for the next few weeks as I freak out.
