New kid on the block

We are getting a new child in my toddler play group today and she does not have a lot of muscle control, so she does not sit up independently, let alone stand or walk. We have standers and things at my job so she can do the activities in the classroom, but I'm concerned about getting her into the stander and things like taking her on/off the bus, diaper changes, transitions.

I have really been working hard at NOT picking up the kids in my playgroup. We have stairs on the changing tables so I have been making them walk up and down (which I did not do before) and just being really careful. Jen is already on me about carrying our (huge) assessment bags and other equipment but it's kind of unavoidable. I've been able to dodge picking up kids, though, except one little girl who fell down the slide last week.

I don't know what I'm going to do about this new kid. I suppose the only option I have is to come clean to my co-teachers even though I am not looking to make any kind of annoucement at work, especially this early. Feh. So frustrating. I'll have to figure out a way out of this.
