me..."dcb, please don't throw books, books are special" dcb "why?" me "well, people work really hard to write books, for us to enjoy them. Do you know what someone who writes books is called?". dcb "no" me "an author". dcb "oh, and what about someone who makes toys, what are they?
Me: "well, duh....(big grin) Santa's Elves!".....I love it when I make him laugh!
It didn't happen here but one of my former daycare dads told me the 5 year old told him that he was singing a song in his head and could HE (dad) hear it? The dad said no he couldn't so the little guy went over and put his head against his dad's ear...he said, "Can you hear it now? "
Yesterday, the baby was crying a bit after I laid her down for a nap and the 2 year old was listening to the monitor...she went over to it and said into it , "It's Ok, Kendyll..it's OK!"
DCB1: How do you think they make meat?
DCB2: They shoot a chicken.
DCB1: No they don't. Mom goes to the store and brings it home. Then she puts it in a pot with a recipe!::
I was taking the children for a walk around the block yesterday I only had 4 in my care. They have to hold my hands at all times. The one little girl asked me what was wrong with my fingers I said nothing she says why do you have so many cracks in your hands. :: My cracks must have been really on her mind because a few minutes later she asked me if my cracks hurt!!!!:: I couldn't stop laughing! A new name for wrinkles....CRACKS!!!! ::
I made my first sensory bin for my kids today, and as we're getting ready to put it away before lunch my 5 yo picks up the lid and points to the warning label that's there - "this is what you can't do!" he says in all seriousness - "you can't put baby B in the box!"
The children decipher names they don't recognize into words they know.
Nick = Neck
Kendall = Candle
Last week my 3.5 year old was saying "bye Hiccup" My new boy's name is Jacob. hahahaha!
That's how my dd got her nickname. Her name is Victoria, and one little dcb (2.5) couldn't say that, so he started calling her Tora. She's stuck with it now. Not sure if this is good or bad though. She is 17mos and loves to growl and roar (especially with a particular yellow and purple mitten on her hand ). Found out, fairly recently, that Tora means tiger in Japanese; and was the code word for the attack on Pearl Harbor...
Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.
watch out for that girl! That's really cool though, actually...a strong tiger girl! My dd's name is Lydia and nearly all the children watch the program "Oliva" so many of them decipher her name as "Olydia" sheesh.
My DD calls nostrils, "nose holes" and it cracks me up every time.
DCB 3.5 was wearing a "bire-bire-bire-bire-bider-bider hat" earlier today. Translation: fire fighter hat. Every time he says "fire fighter" these days, he says it that way. Too cute.
Went to Cherry Berry with the family this evening. Gave my little Erin my 14 month old, a small sample cup of pumpkin ice cream..... a little while later she was done and we didnt see the cup anywhere.... swabbed her cheek to find a tiny chewed up cup which looked more like used gum such a sweet little princess our girl.
