Daycare Adventures

Life is just never boring!!

Yesterday when I went into Carson’s classroom, to pick him up, he was in “time-out”.  When  I asked why I was told that he and another little boy were sharing the same potty.   I guess they were both trying to pee in the same toilet.  It is a rule at daycare that only one person can go into the bathroom at a time (they have a bathroom for boys and a bathroom for girls).  I told his teacher I would talk to him about it.  That night, at dinner, I asked Carson why he was in “time-out” at school.  He gave me a little more detail.  It went like this “Brady and I were going potty in the same toilet.  Brady told me he was going to pee on me and I told Brady I was going to pee on him, but we didn’t, we were just joking.”  I asked him if he thought he should share a toilet with someone else and he said “we use the same potty here” (meaning at home).  I told him yes, but not at the same time!  I explained to him that only one person was allowed in the bathroom at a time, at school.  His reply “but there are 2 toilets in the bathroom.”  It’s true!  Each bathroom has 2 toilets.  How do you argue with that logic?

Just to give everyone an idea of what dinner is like with Amelia…  They are teaching her sign language at school, and I’m amazed her little arms don’t get tired at dinner time.  Through dinner she is constantly giving the sign for more.  As soon as she has 1 or 2 pieces of food left on her tray she starts telling us she wants more.  I thought she would have slowed down a little on her eating, but last night at dinner she at 2/3 a can of pasta, a hotdog, 3 heaping tablespoons of corn, a cup of mandarin oranges and 1/4 of a graham cracker.  It’s just amazing how much food that little girl can put away.  Then after her bath she drank 8 oz of milk!  According to Dan, for breakfast that morning she had 2 blueberry pancakes and a cup of peaches.  MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH!
