Today, well...over the last few weeks...I have noticed how much Kayleigh has blossomed with her vocabulary. She recently moved up to the two year old room...teachers and us as the parents requested it. She was getting so bored in the one year old room. She needed more interaction that she was getting there. About 50% of the kids weren't even walking in the toddler room. She started acting out with biting and hitting, so we figured...time for a change. Plus, November is going to bring enough transition as it is with a new brother at home. SO...she's now fully up in the two year old room.
Some not so great stuff going on there, but we knew there were changes in store. Their main objective in this room is INDEPENDENCE...however, we believe there needs to be boundaries as well! First off, Kayleigh has come home in different outfits (sometimes two different outfits in the dirty bags) because she has soaked herself to the bone playing in the sinks...and possibly toilets...in their bathroom. SEE...BOUNDARIES!!!!!!! We've been bringing about a cup of sand home a day from the playground...because the kids should know how to take their shoes off, dump the sand out, put their shoes back on, and then come back in the classroom. AND...her face raw from rubbing her runny nose across both cheeks...enough that her nose is cracked from being chapped...because they should know how to wipe their own noses. Really...two year olds need to be TAUGHT how to do these things!!! Enough gripping!
The good stuff..."My turn!" "Kayleigh's turn" "Let me try" "I'm a big girl" Plus she's getting her colors down and calls the animals by their names instead of their noises! ALL the words and phrases and complete sentences and thoughts coming out of my babies mouth!!! She's getting so big! She amazes us EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!! I love her so much! We love her so much! She's been a very helpful little girl in the infant room with Ms. Tammy. She helps rock, get bottles, show the babies how to play with certain toys. Oh how I hope she does this with the little guy :) I'm sure she will...makes this mama's heart melt!
PS...still no binkie since the last time I posted!!! I think we eliminated it!
PSS...still working on potty training...sometimes, sometimes not...even at daycare. Someday!
