Sort of.
My friend (who started out as "just" Freyja's daycare provider - but after two years we've progressed to friends) went to Florida this week. She asked me if I would keep her home daycare open while she went. I agreed, especially since there was money involved. We like extra cash when we can get it. Most of the parents know me since she has no turnover. We found her almost right after she opened two years ago and she still has the same kids - nobody has left except one family who moved.
It wasn't too bad. The worst part was my own kid acting up because she seemed to think that because it was her mommy there, she didn't need to follow the rules. The thirty-pound moose of a ten month old wasn't a picnic either, but just because it was heck to heft him all over. He's a very sweet and happy baby otherwise.
The rest of the kids are all ages 2-4. They play nicely together and they all still take nice long afternoon naps. They scrap once in a while, but it's easily mended. No real problems there.
What I didn't count on was getting a hellacious head cold over the weekend that stuck with me all week - coughing, sneezing, not sleeping well. I'm pretty tired today, and looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend with just my own little monkey to look after.

You found Frank's moose child at daycare? Haha.
An aside, I'm still thrilled that you guys adore your daycare friend as much as you do. Call it fate, karma, a good day at the clinic ... whatever, it all worked out perfectly. :)
What are these afternoon naps you speak of?
The only day Freyja took a nap was on Monday, after the cough medicine fiasco the night before.
Apparently she naps when I'm not there b/c everybody else naps. They all lie down in their sleeping bags and don't make a peep for 2-3 hours. It's fantastic!
no more naps in our house. If they nap, bedtime is HELL.
