My difficult child has been here for 11 weeks. Here are the behaviors he's cycled through so far:
Week 1: Mouthing everything
Weeks 2-5: Biting people
Weeks 6-7: Hair-pulling
Week 8: Shoving
Weeks 9-10: Gouging/slashing
Week 11 retrospective: Back to mouthing everything
And it's been a good month since I've had a serious inquiry in response to any of my ads.

Aren't kids fun!!!! :: Gotta love 'em!

I have my first cold in who knows how long. I feel just terrible. Can't tell by looking at me...just congested.

4 hours until closing and then one 30 minute interview and I'm done! happyface

Hope you feel better. Our first colds are cycling through dc. Fever, sore throats, gross noses, and a couple diarrhea kids. I'm living on echinaecia; not sure if it works but so far, so good(knock on wood!)

The 4 month old that started today is NOT bottle trained and I call BS on mom for saying that she is.

It was BC or NannyDe who told me to make them feed the baby an entire bottle in front of me before letting them start daycare. Some of the BEST advice ever given!

I will probably do that from now on. I've never had an issue before. Even the new baby yesterday ****ed her bottle down.

9th month pregnancy insomnia has kept me awake since 1:45 this morning. I would say I need a nap, but sleep eludes me. I need lots of coffee, some Tylenol to kick this headache I've developed, and fingers crossed that my day goes smoothly, with my drop-in boy adhering to my schedule as well as he normally does.

I had a parent ask me if I put pictures of day care kids on my personal facebook page. I honestly hope I answered the question without scoffing at her

She's a teacher, does she put pictures of her students on her personal facebook page? Same thing.

Honestly, I have dozens of teacher friends on FB and a handful of them DO put pics of their students on FB :confused:My DDs elementary school has a FB page and posts things occasionally, but I would not be ok with her teacher posting stuff on her personal page...i can see why she asked.

Boundaries people. Boundaries.

Yes, many of my teacher friends do, too.

Had a great interview yesterday. Unfortunately it is only for drop in care. Ultimately they want full time but need evenings and weekends. She ended the visit with, "I love it here. If you ever do weekends, please let me know."

I will probably never do weekends but if their schedule ever changes, at least they know I'm here.

Ooops didn't realize this was the venting thread.

None of the teachers I'm friends with do. I can't even imagine how any of them would think that's okay:confused:

8 month old has been waking up furious from her afternoon nap all week. I much prefer her previous happy baby sounds letting me know she's awake.

It is so common here, and honestly it makes me sick. I would be furious if my child's teacher did it. Here it is also common for teachers to give children rides to/from school and I have recently heard of teachers going over to parents houses for things like "taco Tuesday" I think I would have died if my teacher came to my house as child ::

Come on 3 day weekend!!! Hurry it up! Dcb3.5 just poked other dcb3 in the face and left a pretty big red spot ugh. Almost got him in the eye. I was standing right next to them, but it happened out of nowhere and so fast and couldn't stop it in time.... Lord give me strength! This dcb makes me want to start drinking and a lot of cuss words go through my head daily ha!

tooth fairy

Wow! One of my dcbs lost his first tooth. Mom posted that Tooth Fairy left $20 and a trip to Target for a new toy. Maybe it's me. But I think that's way crazy.
