I have been struggling with my DS4 on learning his colors, shapes, ... Well it turns out that he has been playing games with me. He tells me the wrong color, shape... on purpose. He does it because I do it. He told me so, I tricked you because I like to play.

When I ask him if a Y is X and he will say no it is Y, then laugh because he knows I know. The other day DH pretended to throw DS socks and DS went looking, when he did not see them, he turned around and without missing a beat, said, Dad, you tricked me.

What am I going to do with him?

[e.j.]

He's a smart one! Sounds like you're going to have to stay 2 steps ahead of that boy! Good luck trying! lol

This morning, DD3.5 said, “My friends are wearing me out!” 😂😂

She doesn’t go to pre-k today so she was trying everything to persuade us to let her go. 😂

So I sent me kids outside today. (25 degrees)

When they came inside, they take me to the slider because they had a surprise.

They show me a dead crow that they place on the picnic table and ds4 said "I carried it like a baby" lol

(Seriously we had a little talk afterwards about not touching that animals)

[e.j.]

OMG! lol

I have a climbing toy that includes a slide and "house" underneath. I had just brought the kids out to play and was busy with a couple of them, when 2 others called out to me saying there was a bunny inside the little house. We do get rabbits in the yard but I had never seen one in the play area, which is fenced in, and they usually take off running when they see us so I didn't believe them at first. I ducked my head inside the house and sure enough there was a baby bunny lying in the mulch inside the house, not moving at all. I told the kids he was just tired and sleeping and to please stay away from the house so he could finish his nap. My husband went out after he got home from work and took care of it for me but... at least none of my dc kids carried it like a baby! lol

That is sweet story, a lot better than the deer my dck found. She was a momma and was trying to get food from my apple tree when she slipped and got stuck on the branches. When we walked out side to go to the bus, one of them said, look a deer!

Oh, no! That's so sad - not to mention nightmarish to have seen. I love where we live, in part, because of all the wildlife here. There is a downside to it, though, when you see things like what you described.

Seems that my dd has started some kinda trend. LOL She has a loft bed and when I told DS that he was getting a big bed, he says like sissy? Silly me I said yes. Then he went on about having to climb in bed and so forth. While we got him one, but a shorter one.

Well DCM says she told DCG that she was getting a big bed and DCG says like DD? DCM without knowing, said yes. DCM turned the crib into a toddler bed and DCG tried to place the front of the crib next to the bed part for her ladder. LOL That is when DCM realized what she agreed to accidentally. LOL

DCM: does DD have a loft bed?

ME: Why Yes why do you ask?

DCM: Oh well, so does DCG now.

Then proceeded to tell me what happen.

ME: LOL DS tricked me with the same question.

I was going to read a book about raccoons today. This is the first picture in the book. my guess is the picture was taken in the early 80s even though the first copyright date isn't until 2000.

[e.j.]

Maybe it's because I'm feeling a little punchy today, but if I opened a book for the first time and that's the first page I saw, the kids would have to wait until I stopped laughing before I could read the rest of the book to them.

I was reading the menu aloud to the kids before making lunch, and said, “chicken tacos”. 2 yo dcb said, “YAY!! TOCKERS!!”

I’ve been closed for 2 1/2 years (wow how time flies). Just got a “I got your name from R&R. Do you have any openings?”

[SignMeUp]

Just respond: Yes, immediate opening for knife-making apprentice. Must be at least 12 months old. No experience necessary.

[Blackcat31]

SignMeUp LOL!! That would be the PERFECT response!!

[Alwaysgreener]

That's okay in the past year I've got two inquiries for families in another state that said they got my name from the r&r. I mean if it happened once okay but it's
happened twice for the same state.

Dcg arrived this morning with shorter hair. I commented that she got a hair cut. DCM says yeah I cut it, well so did Dcg.

DCM took a quick shower and Dcg bobbed half of her hair, so dcm cut it.

Lol I have been nervous that this Dcg would cut her hair while we are doing crafts, so I always position her in my eyesight when she has scissors.

So relieved that it happened on dcm watch and not mine.

[Rockgirl]

When I start kids out with scissors, I put bandanas on their heads, do-rag style. 🤣

[Alwaysgreener]

I considered pulling her hair back with a hair tie. But now it's too short to do it.

Ds4: I have a penis.
Dcg3: Sa dcb doesn't have any peanuts

DS: yes he does have a penis
DCG: no he doesn't have peanuts
repeat

I giggle as I think to myself yes he does, he has both. (One is his dogs name)

Me: time to wash your hands for lunch

I get a call for childcare for 5YO twins. I personally do not like caring for 5YO’s. They are bored in my toddler focused program. But, I want to fill the spot so I entertain the idea.

Prospect says, “5YO’s are currently enrolled at (well respected childcare center) and I’ve had it with them. They are changing their policies every week. When I point out that their handbook says XYZ, they just change the policy instead of making it right! They just make it up as they go!” 🚩

I tell her the costs and she said, “Do you offer a discount for siblings? Since I have twins, it’s expensive buying two of everything.” 🚩

Annoyed (because the center she goes to does not offer discounted rates) I blurted out, “I won’t offer discounted services to one of the siblings so I don’t offer discounted rates.”

I can’t believe I said that! 😅

She laughed it off and asked to set up a tour for next week. I complied so I didn’t look like a total donkey but I intend on telling her I filled the spot tomorrow.

She’s a hard pass!

Everyone picked up early with the last 2 being picked up at the same time. I unexpectedly got off an hour early

Last dcd: "Last one already? I knew I should've picked up at 5:30."

I HATE passive aggressive comments. Why do parents make comments like these? I know he meant it as a joke, but I find it so disrespectful.

The dcd who picked up right before him made a comment "lucky you. Everyones gone already." I wanted to say lucky YOU having the day off of work and your kids being here for 8.5 hours

I can tell I need a break because it's these little daily things that drive me mad lol looking forward to my short week next week

During a snow storm one year, a former DCM told me the night before she wouldn’t be here if the roads were bad. I wasn’t expecting her. Everyone else called out, school was closed, the roads were bad. SHE SHOWED UP! After she dropped her kids off, she texted me and said “Oh, you could’ve had a day off. Shoot.” 🙄 That comment irritated more than her showing up in a bad snow storm!

She is the reason I now close when the schools closed.

I don’t think parents have any idea how their silly comments come across.

I’m changing a daycare baby(boy) today and 2 of my older toddler girls are watching.

A says “Look baby has a penis”
W says “My mom says I can’t have penis because I’ll choke”

I’m not sure how to proceed but I’m dying laughing inside….

Then W says “Some people are allergic to penis too but I’m not. I have it on my toast sometimes.”

HUGE sigh of relief…. She meant peanuts not penis.

[e.j.]

I would have been doubled over laughing. You deserve a prize for being able to keep the laughter inside.

[GirlMomma]

What was with all the penis talk yesterday? 😂

Moving really well early this morning, gym-check, dishes put up from dishwasher-check, stirring my pot of chili in the crockpot for supper tonight; and SPLASH, so I go change my shirt.....hoping things don't spiral from this mishap
