How Have Drop Offs Gone For You This Morning?

[crazydaycarelady]

We're having pajama day and I am in my jammies too. So far drop offs have been good! *crossing fingers so I don't jinx myself!*

One in tears, but fine now. Another wilder than normal, but he's typically Mr. Calm, so he's still pretty mellow! The third has been crying on and off, and just went to the nap room, banged on the door til I opened it, then lifted her arms to go in the PNP... Clearly tired... And my own slept til 8 g(unheard of!). I wonder how nap will go...

Well, not to brag, but since you asked... Out of my 9 possible children - only 2 came today. AND they are being absolute angels.

Bonus, all of those families chose not to come today for various reason so I am getting full pay today for what feels like a vacation day. happyface

Ok here. Youngest one is crabby, but he has 2 teeth trying to poke thru and he's constipated so this has been him all week. Next family, according to the oldest, "only went to 4 houses cause brother was too crabby" (and still is). Oldest is ok so far-and that is something new for him lately (knocks on wood).

Yeah I am so jealous of you right now..

I have one that arrived with a pack of MM candy. I said oh thank you for bringing that for me and took it away. the child is still crying.

Another that threw up upon entry, they went right back out.

the rest seem to be doing ok.

Full house today. Drop offs went fine. They have just been insane since. Mostly wild. I'm sure due to halloween hangovers. Weather is supposed to be nasty today but it has held off so far and if it hasn't started to rain in 20 minutes, we are headed outside at 9:30 and staying out until it either rains or it's lunchtime, whichever come first.

This is my day today. Wild children, but we are having a pj day. Dcb brought a movie, three didn't like it so they cried for 30 minutes about a movie we aren't even watching. One came in with a back pack full of toys and candy (it's put up) and he is crying/screaming on/off for it.

So over today already! Closing next Halloween for sure!

My one and only dck just arrived at noon (she has am preschool M/W/F). Normal drop off, but she was more talkative than normal. We will have lunch very soon, then nap, so I am assuming the rest of my day will be fine a well. happyface

I only have 1 today aside from my own and so far so good! He keeps asking for candy (only 21mos LOL) but no way Jose!

7:00 this morning I hear a child screaming to the top of his lungs outside. Yep it was one of my daycare kids screaming because he wanted a ****er and dcm gave it to him:confused: I took it from him in front of dcm and threw it in the trash

All my kids were their usual selves. 4 good kids and one tornado child. All went down for naps great, including a child who is sleeping without a pacifier here for the first time!
We are having our Halloween party this afternoon!

You are nicer than I am. Those would hae been handed right back to mom and I would have told the kids "Mom will hold these for you until she comes to pick you up"

meh...I'm even meaner than that. I would have taken the bag of candy and let the kids eat the whole thing about 30 minutes before pick up.

As a thank you to mom for her being so considerate, I would have added some candy of my own just so the kids had a little "extra" energy.



I'm not really that mean, but I am smart enough to NOT deal with ANY candy-hang overs.....I closed the day after Halloween.

Love your comment Blackcat! I will have to remember to do the candy thing just before pick up next year! Smart Girl you are, closing the day after Halloween! I never thought of that, but it's a great idea!
