When I did daycare ...OH MY GOSH, that's too funny! <BR/><BR/>When I did daycare years ago I had a little girl who would grab you by the face and say "Let's soap opera kiss!" and then proceed to smash your lips into yours and wiggle them around. Thankfully she didn't learn it <I>at</I> my daycare, but she sure shared it with all of us!Redneck Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506685036989431733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-1123783145296996512005-08-11T12:59:00.000-05:002005-08-11T12:59:00.000-05:00Diva, Here's the incident. I went to pick up #1 so...Diva, <BR/>Here's the incident. I went to pick up #1 son from daycare. He was 2 and a half, and usually screamed and ran the other way when he saw me. (I know, I'm Mother of the Year!) This one day he ran up to me and reached up his arms. I picked him up, and he grabbed my face with his hands. "I kiss you," he said. I thought to myself: Oh, how sweet. The he STUCK HIS TONGUE IN MY MOUTH. EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I set him down right quick, and said, "What are you doing?" He replied, "That's how you kiss." I told him, "No...who told you that?" And he proudly announced, "Tori's brother showed me how." (!) <BR/><BR/>Tori's brother was 4, and always in trouble. Of course I told Daycare Lady, and she said Tori's parents should be more private about some things, since last week Tori's brother almost got smacked by another mother for putting his hand in her little girl's back pocket. The kid didn't do anything really bad, just copied what he'd seen Mom and Dad do.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-1123765220365556102005-08-11T08:00:00.000-05:002005-08-11T08:00:00.000-05:00Back when I was a young thing I did this daycare t...Back when I was a young thing I did this daycare thing as well. But back then I had 2 newborns who were both 2 months old, a 2 year old and an 18 month old. Not only did the kids thrive on the routine we had but I did as well. As long as we didn't stray from that things were fabulous. People were always amazed that all 4 would nap at the same time, but it's seriously all about the routine. <BR/><BR/>I always have bought my daycare kids birthday and Christmas presents simply because I kind of feel like they're sort of mine in a way - except I get to send them home at night, lol. Heck, Santa usually makes an appearance at my house around Christmastime, too! <BR/><BR/>I feel so honored that these parents have chosen me to help in raising their children - it's a bit overwhelming at times, but amazingly rewarding. <BR/><BR/>fRench kissing incident?

Taking care of my own kids is...I could not do that. Taking care of my own kids is enough for me. When my kids were in daycare, I truly appreciated the way the owner handled the kids. She only took ten, and they had to be age five or younger, no more than two under age one. She had one helper who came in at noon. The daycare was in a little house behind her house. It amazed me how she got them all to sit at the table and eat, and all to sleep at naptime. She said kids thrive on routine. My kids loved her. She gave all of them Christmas presents, and gifts on their birthdays. I dont' see<BR/>how she could afford it. She wasn't an old granny-lady either, she was my age, with kids in high school. I never had to worry that something might happen to them. The only problem was that french-kissing incident...Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.com
