I'm not sure the shortage is the complete problems; there are too many parents that received that 20 month free daycare pay and they mis-managed their money and now either can't or don't want to pay.??

"Advocacy groups are looking for answers as the child care crisis mounts. A chronic shortage of child care across the U.S. had curbed the economy’s growth even before COVID-19 swept the country in 2020—and the pandemic just worsened the problem. "

Yep. Ok. Sure, that's what caused everyone to quit and find a better field to work in.

I always get CDA newsletters but have started getting the advocating ECE ones lately too. LOL

[Cat Herder]

Ok, which one of you did it???

My email is flooded with " Advocating for ECE" and "Get your CDA" newsletters.

Good one.

Just remember I spent well over 30 years, total, in a firehouse.... I know about some truly terrifying email subscription newsletters.

I've been singing "Wash your hands...Wash, washy wash, washy wash your hands. Scrub em' while you sing this song.", in Elmo's voice, in my head, for over 12 hours. now. When should I call a doctor?

Pray for me.

Definitely way too cute to correct! 😁

One of my DCK age 3 calls short sleeves “up sleeves” and long sleeves “down sleeves” and I don’t have the heart to correct her because it’s so cute. ❤️

She also calls polka dots “coca-dots” because she thinks they are miniature coconuts

DCG says something about her mom's boyfriend, S. I ask if S is her friend. She says "no he is not DS."

I told DCM, and she says that dcg was playing and she turned to S and said "DS, look at.." paused then said, "S look at.."

It's not often that parents can pull a new one on me, after all these decades.
But a parent of a 3 yr old (also had her 7 yr old from birth to kindy) wanted to have 'the nap talk.'
I'm thinking, Oh crap, he just turned three and still needs a nap!
But no! She wants me to make sure he sleeps longer 🤯
I mean, it's a nice change from the usual, but will you tell me how to Make him sleep longer?

By the way, she wanted her daughter to nap less, before she was three.

I love how little kid brains work!

Our trees have been trimmed back and as they grow back out the limbs/leaves are sagging downward as they are tender and struggling a little. Well, Yesterday as dcb3 was leaving he turned around and said, "hey, ms, xxx, why are your trees upside down". In a way that was a really smart thought. I have laughed every time I think about it.

Clueless being the key word here; yes, clueless.....I tell my mom these parents 'think' from the 'neck-up'; NO processing skills! LOL
