My Mom runs a in home day care at her house Monday though Friday. So parents start dropping off kids at 7am. I drop Alex off at 6:50ish to be at work at 7:30am. Anyway my mom has a million kids! She has: (* means new kids)
Alex-2 1/2
JasMarie-2
Matt- 1 1/2
Rafael - 1 1/2 *
Adrian- 1
Valeria- 9 months*
Anyway I was running a little late and so I didnt have time to make myself breakfast at home, so I decided to make something at my Mom's house. Yeah BIG mistake! lol Alex was the first one there, and once I was trying to leave, Jas got there, so I decided to help my Mom out, and take her to the room where my Mom puts them down for a nap (She has beds, and playpens, and bassinets), and she went right to sleep. As I was leaving, Rafael and Valeria got there so once again I helped my Mom. Since they are both little and my Mom JUST got them this week, they are still in the crying stage when they Mom leaves. So I was trying to help her settle them down. Finally I decided I NEEDED to leave lol So I was running out the door, when Adrian gets there! ARGH! LOL He started crying too! So My poor Mom had Rafa, Valeria and Adrian crying when I left lol And Alex was getting mad because he wanted to sleep, and Jas couldnt care less about everything, and just slept. I decided I need to leave before Matt got there!! What a crazy mad house that was this morning! LOL

Your mom is crazy! I don't know how she does it...she will have them all on a schedule sleeping and eating in no time!
Yup she's awesome!!
Just reading that made me tired! I get tired just taking care of one little 4 1/2 month old! lol Way to go Tania's mom!
Yup, she's awesome - I tried watching two extra kids once and they drove me nuts! And it wasn't even that often, that I had to deal with them!
You mother is incredible, Tania . . . She is SO patient and loving and has such a magic touch to get kids on a routine and to get them to feel comfortable and safe and a part of things . . .
Those parents (not just YOU, but ALL of them) are SOOOOOO lucky to have such a sweet and compassionate sitter/surrogate mom for their little ones . . .
