Thanks to all of you who called, emailed, and texted me today. Wow! I was overwhelmed and surprised by all the well-wishing I got today! :)

Today was great! One boy didn't cry at all and the other cried for only about five minutes. After that, it was smoothly sailing. The boys all played together, we did art, read some books together, ate snack and lunch. I didn't do any real curriculum today because I wanted to give them some time to feel comfortable here, and I also wanted to get to know them a little better. Chase seemed really happy to have friends and Tyler liked being called my "assistant." It just seemed like we were having a structured play date at my house and getting paid for it! :) I'm so happy that I finally decided on ending at 1:00 instead of 6:00. I get to do what I love but not let it take over my life. It's like working part time, and it's perfect for me right now.

Tomorrow I have two kids (a brother and sister) who are coming to check out the place. I am hoping this works out because the older child is 4, which is perfect cause I would love for Tyler to have a playmate the same age as he is.

Well, all is well so far. Jason said that the real test will be when I have all six kids at once. I will be nervous about that too!

Seriously, thanks again for all your support! It means so much! :)
