Things that the daycare has taught me: Maks’ Christmas Concert edition
Kindergarteners will break formation and wave like crazy when they see you walk into their Christmas concert. The ones that don’t see their parents arrive will sit quietly staring anxiously at the door until they see their parents arrive. One of the saddest things is seeing the face of a child when they realize that [...]
Things that the daycare has taught me: Mat’s Christmas Concert edition
15 one year olds do not want to sit quietly when they see their parents arrive early to their class. 15 one year olds do not understand, that even though ever other day they leave as soon as their parents arrive, on the day of the concert they have to sit down with their parents [...]
Let them wear shoes!!
Mat doesn’t wear shoes. Mat doesn’t walk outside. When he’s outside I carry him around either in my arms or in the Snugli. So because of that Mat doesn’t wear shoes. He wears really thick socks with these rubber grip things when he is indoors. The only exception is at the daycare. The daycare takes [...]
Field Trip take 2
Remember a couple of weeks ago when Maks was supposed to go on his first ever far away, all day field trip? Remember when that field trip was cancelled TEN MINUTES before the class was supposed to leave because the bus driver showed up in a bus that he took from the yard, a bus [...]
The alphabet is full of food
Maks is learning about words. He’s discovered, with the help of a pretty hands on and involved kindergarten teacher, that the alphabet can be put together to make up words. And some words are also foods. (Did you keep up with that?) OK, this is what he means. The names of foods are words. (I’ll [...]
WW*Y*D: Beyblade Edition
Today for show and tell Maks took in his beyblade. It was a hit. All the little boys loved it and they all wanted to play with it. But it was too much of a hit. Maks’ best friend, P, asked for it. Maks told him that he couldn’t have it, it was his. P then [...]
Grandma to be, in bullets
Beanz is convinced that Maks is going to make me into a grandma at a young age. And this is why: One day last week I found Maks and his friend “S” playing “doggy” in the playground. Doggy is a game that I have since banned Maks from playing even though the daycare allows it. [...]
And the daycare makes me regret going back to work
Again One of the reasons that I put the boys in the daycare that they’re in, is because it allows me to watch them over the internet during the day. I use this service a lot for Mat. Since he is so little and can’t talk yet, I use this to keep an eye on [...]
Same daycare, different kid
When I changed Mat’s diaper, I don’t put on Vaseline or any kind of ointment. I would wipe him down and just put on a clean diaper. I didn’t do this because I was trying to be an all natural, granola munching momma. Nope. I did it because I knew from the diaper rash hell [...]
TBTNS and Separation Anxiety
Mat has been in daycare for an entire week. The first day I went and spent the entire entire with him. I would sit away from him in the room and every once in awhile I would get up and leave so that he would see that I wuld leave him but I would always [...]
