A Choice Is Made Chapter 34
Bette: Well that probably becomes a non issue once Tina is here, so either I give up my gym time for a bit or find a nanny to stay with her a couple of days a week. Would we be able to bring her later in the day? For example if my nanny brought her later in the morning or after lunch would that be acceptable here?
Abigail: Generally, parents bring their children here in the morning, most are here by 9am when we start our schedule for the day. Notice for Angelica’s age group today we are having music for them now. Today’s lesson allows the children play their own drum.
They watch the little ones beat their little rubber drums. They are able to beat it with their hands or a mallet and not restricted to the top of the drum. Some prefer the sides and others the tops. The teacher is working with them to beat their drum on cue rather than whenever they feel like it. There are 5 little ones in the room and with one instructor. The children are having a ball and the teacher has their attention and calls each child by name. She also provides positive feedback, funny faces and warms smiles for the babies. Bette likes what she sees. Next stop is the fenced in attached play ground area.
Bette: How many kids would you typically have out here at once and how many teachers are with them?
Abigail: Anytime the kids are out on the playground, their teacher is out there with them. We also have a playground aide, so if that group of 5 was out there both an aide and a teacher would be with them. If another group of say 6 children came out only the teacher would come, so 3 adults for 5-12 kids.
Bette: Is there a maximum number of kids you’re likely to schedule or bring out here at once?
Abigail: We tend to stop at three groups, so 15-20 kids. Inside we tend to keep the numbers lower: 10-15 as that is a smaller play area.
Bette: What do you consider the one thing that sets your center apart from the others in the area?
Abigail: We really care about our children. You can see the small class size and see the personal interaction the teachers have with the children. That has to be a combination of our culture as well as part of our recruiting process for our teachers. They really do have to love children.

Well David will have to change his attittude if he wants a relationship with the Kennard-Porter family. Right now he better stay away from them. PPVS
Ahhh well, David was his Grandfather’s grandson…that attitude didn’t develop from nothing. Yes it was wrong of David to select that time to state his views, but Kit and Bette should have discussed what they wanted him to do well before the social worker was arriving. I still hope they find a way to forgive him and he gets a chance to see how happy and healthy Angelica is…afterall, what else will change his opinion…he needs to see he was wrong. Anyway, I think it’s very sad when family have such a rift…it is such a waste. Great update Lwsho…you are smokin’…burning rubber as they say…you are poppin’ these out like there’s no tomorrow…I LOVE IT!
Graet chapter!!! David needs to stay out of B&T life for good. Have a wonderful holiday!!! Thank you
What an asshole David turned out to be. I wouldn’t reconcile with him after what he did. That was a great chapter. Thanks. I’ll be waiting patiently for the next chapter for when you return. Enjoy your holiday. Oh, don’t break any fingers.
YEA, BETTE’S IN A HARD PLACE ABOUT NEPHEW DAVID. He needs to apologise at least.
Forgiveness is a wonderful thing. Unforgiveness is like you taking poison thinking your emeny will die.
Awesome update. David just needs to get his mind in order. Love Jean he’s so good for Kit. You have a great holiday and I will be waiting to read your next update patiently :). Thank you!
I would imagine Bette helped raise David some. It’s a shame he hid how he truly felt about the adoption until the meeting with the social worker. I think he needs to come forward and apologize to Bette. PPS
I’m sorry for Bette. I’m sure she was disappointed and hurt that David didn’t just recuse himself from that meeting with the social worker. It must be hard to have someone you love and helped raise (I think Bette must have played a small part in that) basically tell you they don’t think you deserve to be your kid’s mother. At least Melvin only said that he wasn’t the grandfather, but didn’t say Bette wouldn’t be the kid’s mother. Maybe he’ll apologize? Looking forward to more!
I truly love your story. And maybe its just me, but I really wish Kit had defended Bette and Tina. I know he’s her son, but her sister has been there for her when she had all of her issues, when her son practically cut her off. Yet when they got to dinner it was Jean that felt the need to say something…. IDK, David is an ass and it upsets me. Fabulous writing though… PPS!
