St. Mary's

Monday, June 23 - Today Mateo started at a new center, St. Mary's (part of St.Mary's Hospital). It was a bit tough on all of us, but Ric and I believe that it was the best decision for his care and personal growth. It has been a long time coming, but it finally happened! We put our names in while I was still pregnant, but never got the call. Then when I was returned to work, we were fortunate enough to have Or watch Mateo until he was 13 months old.

St. Mary's Child Center is created, designed, and run by Sister Joyce who has some pretty tough standards that we really appreciate. All of the staff have some kind of degree in childhood development as well. There is a cool Skyroom, which is a huge indoor play area for the kids to enjoy on sunny, rainy or snowy days. They can even ride bikes around the little track that borders the play area. He also has a huge classroom with it's own outdoor playground. He loves to play outside so much that he didn't want to leave the other day.

Next Thursday is "Red, White & Blue" dress-up day and they'll have an Independence Day Parade. We're excited for him.
