So I am happy to report that I could not be happier with my new home daycare. Mateo is beyond happy, and walks right up to all the kids to start to play and doesn't care if we stay or go. Although this is also very sad because I don't even get a hug or kiss and I am pretty sure I am just left missing him all day, and he doesn't think twice about me. But I am not worried about how he is doing there, because I know he loves it, and comes home tired.
This home daycare has older kids before and after school, as they are waiting for the school bus, and he loves the older kids, and they love him. He has a nickname "Potato" and everyone shares their "finger skateboards" or DS gaming devices with him or really anything he wants because they are so in love with him, which is nice to see. He learns a lot from the interaction with these older kids, but I am left feeling like he is growing up too fast for me (everyone says that is when you start thinking of #2).
So all and all, the home daycare switch from the facility daycare was very positive and a good choice. I think finding the right daycare just comes down to finding the right person that makes you as a mother feel comfortable, and it is very much a mom-instinct.
