Once in a while you can pick out a word he says amid all the
chatter. Of course he understands it all
so we should too. On our ride home Wednesday
night he kept repeating the same sentence and I kept saying “ok”, “yes” and “tell me more” because the only word I
understood was “stuck”. It was like I
was being scolded because his finger was a wagging. He sounded kind of bothered, but not
upset. Just wanted me to know
something. I had asked what he did at
school that day and that was his response.
Last night I asked the girls who watch him in the afternoon if he got
stuck on something and told them why.
Turns out he gets “stuck” in a car on the playground because he gets
into it the wrong way and then whines for a rescue. He’s
also picking up other life skills. As in
how to pick his nose! That was day
#2. He thought it was hilarious and
watched me to see what I’d do. He hasn’t
done it since… because I thought he had
stuffed something up there I immediately tilted his head back to look and see
what was there. It also involved pushing
his nose around to get a look. Must not
have been fun…
Next week they get to go on picnic outside for lunch, which
he will love. She said they will bring
the treats like ice cream or other junk food and then she looked at me as if to
ask if that was ok. Must be my request
he eat fruit for one snack a day put me in the picky mommy category. I said that was fine and explained the fruit
request. They give crackers and cookies
for snacks 3 times day along with juice.
He gets more than enough carbs from all his snacking and meals and he
needs more fruits and veggies. I can’t
imagine he’d be happy if they put green beans or peas in front of him, but
fruit pretty much always wins over any other food. And it does make a better diaper the next day
if he’s had an apple or banana. This is
to their advantage because I pay big bucks for those poopy diaper changes! Perk of being in daycare!
