My oldest is a valentines baby, I joke it was so his father did not have to deal with the holiday and just had to do his birthday. He came a week early to make it happen.

5 year old, angry puzzling. :
:
Scowling, slapping each piece into place then glaring at me.
Maybe he should not have mixed eight wooden puzzles (20 pieces per, color-coded on back, per each 4 puzzle set, 2 boxes) together as he has been told weekly for the last 4 years. Get them put together to get them put away.
If you can't do the time don't do the crime, buddy.

Love it!! ::
He is super ticked, now. He is having a picnic lunch, with the puzzles. Naptime is also optional at 5 years old.
It really isn't that difficult. They are the little ones for toddlers plus I painted the backs to color code them.
I texted his mom and asked how long she wanted me to make him work on it. She texted back "Feel free to send them home with him if they are not done by pickup." :::: I guess we are all good, here.
I plan to stop at 1 hour, though. I have a treat planned for the group at 3:30 and this one likes his nap. Our class cucumbers and squash are ready for picking 
and I made cookies with our pumpkins.

Just went to check on my almost 2 yo dcg. She has a doll with a paci and she still uses a paci. She and her doll are laying nose to nose, both with pacis stuck in their mouths. Man, she is such a cutie pie. lovethis I'm already thinking how traumatic it'll be to watch her go off to preschool.

Oddly, he is the second Thad (Thaddeus) I have had in care. This one has a sibling named Theodore.
The other was an only child and is probably about 16 now.
My current Thad will be 2 in Jan. It is definitely a "different" name. One I have trouble in conjunction with the sibling's name. It sounds like I have a speech problem. ::
The kids call him "Fad" or "him".

I'm probably naughty for doing so... But... I was chuckling as I watched out the kitchen window as a teacher was trying to get the last preschooler inside to get cleaned up for lunch. Their swing and slide set is in front of my only kitchen window. It was pretty funny watching her start to climb up and him racing down - there was no way she was going to make it up there to get him, ha ha... Next time I looked I saw her picking him up under his arms and his feet kicking.
One of the older preschoolers wasn't watching where she was going and she walked right into my hindside. I turned around and exclaimed, "Sweetie (didn't call her that, called her by name), you just walked into my butt." She smiled and looked a little embarrassed, then she wrapped her arms around my legs in a hug and told me she loved me.Comment

My own almost 2 year old doesn't nap long, so I let him watch Daniel Tiger after he wakes so the others get a full nap. Today's episode is Snowy Day/Tutu All The Time, and when Henrietta *****cat drops Katerina Kitty Cat off at school in a tutu and doesn't make her put it in her cubby, and even says "I'm glad that you like your tutu!" I laugh so hard. Even in cartoons parents think that the rules can't possibly apply to them or their children!Comment

One of my (favorite) DCK's went to Kindy this year.
Still comes after school off bus for an hour every day though.
Today was their first day being dropped off via the bus.
Child comes in and announces PROUDLY to everyone asking about the first day/what they learned etc...
DCK's reply: "Hey guys guess what?!?! I got to ride the bus with no car seat and no seatbelt!!"
Tried squeezing additional info in regards to their day and all the fun things they may have done etc... but the thrill was apparently riding that bus without a car seat or seatbelt. DCK even says "....and I get to do it again tomorrow!!" happyface happyface
Guess it's the little things in life...

Me: "Now it's time to put on a dry one!"
DCK: "Nuh Ah dun wan to!"
10 minutes later . . .
Me: "Hey, buddy, you can't come out into the playroom without a pull-up on."
DCK: "Ah come out playyyyy."
Me: "Sorry, dude; you're too naked to come out here with everybody else."
DCK: "Ah not naked!"
Me: "I don't wan't to see your bottom."
DCK: "DON'T LOOK AT MY BOTTOM!!!"
Me:
"Yo, dude, I don't want to! Please put a pull-up over your bottom!"
Three minutes later:
DCK, horrified: "What DAT? Ah dun lahk it! Pestle what DAT? Ah dun lahk it!"
Me: "Stop playing with the paper tow-- oh, ick! Mr. Man, that's a camel cricket."
DCK: "AH DUN LAHK IT."

Received a 3 paragraph email stating how upset a parent was to learn that I have a new assistant without discussing it with them first. That they are uncomfortable with my decision, asking about her references, background check, and demanding to meet her today.
I am struggling with the decision to send a quick text to put DCM out of her misery or schedule the conference with both parents for them to meet our new empathy/sharing story puppet Danielle.https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...KIKX0DER&psc=1 Choices...

Hahahaha unbelievable!! I really think after such an email I'd make it as uncomfortable and embarrassing for them as possible and let them meet your puppet.:Received a 3 paragraph email stating how upset a parent was to learn that I have a new assistant without discussing it with them first.

Also, I love that Danielle is a donkey. I hope the irony isn't lost on them when you schedule the conference.Received a 3 paragraph email stating how upset a parent was to learn that I have a new assistant without discussing it with them first.
