Ooooo — this dress looks great. It’s machine washable, has pockets, has sleeves, and has both a kid-friendly neckline (I always feel a bit weird about wearing lower V-necks around my boys and their friends since it feels like I’m constantly bending forward) and a work-appropriate hemline. It’s available in black, navy, and fuchsia for $79 full price at Lands’ End, in regular, petite, tall, and plus sizes. Lands’ End 3/4-Sleeve Ponte Sheath Dress

Thoughts on dropping off/picking up 2 kids at two different daycares? I have two kids, 7 months and 2.5. My oldest attends a daycare about 1 mile away from home. We drop him off either by walking (20 minutes) or metro (about 15 minutes). My younger one is on the waiting list at that daycare but likely won’t get in until January (and possibly later). Therefore, we are currently interviewing nannies to take care of my 7 month old until a daycare slot opens up.
But, I just received word today that an infant spot has opened up at another daycare about 1 mile away (but in the opposite direction from my older son’s daycare). How logistically complicated is it to do 2 different drop offs/pick ups? When my husband is in town, we can divide and conquer (each be responsible for a different kid). I would be doing drop off/pick up via metro (I live in DC). But I am worried about dropping off/picking up both when hubs is traveling and it’s just me.
Are we better off just sticking with a nanny for the next few months until the daycare slot at my older son’s school opens up? Or should we suck it up and do 2 different drop offs/pick ups? My ideal situation would be doing daycare for both (we love daycare and are hesitant about hiring a nanny) and then hiring someone to help with pick up/drop off. But I don’t know how difficult it is to find someone like this. We live in DC.
Thoughts?
Looking for stroller recommendations to go with the nuna pipa infant seat. The car seat’s not going to change, but any recs for compatible strollers greatly appreciated!
I have this dress and love it. It washes well too.
