Our Little Boogers

Sharing our lives: two kids, two full-time jobs, one old house, and plenty of love and laughter. And baseball.

A New First!

We were just talking about the lack of new "Firsts" the other day. The last two years have been full of big firsts: first rolling, first crawling, first steps, first food, first word, etc. We were laughing that even though he keeps learning new things, they aren't as momentous these days... but I think we spoke too soon.

Daycare keeps these nice daily logs for the parents. There's a section about diaper changes (times and textures), one about food (when and how much), one about attitude, and a short narrative about their day. It's really nice-- here's a typical attitude section for the little booger:
And here's a typical narrative:
Today, however, was a big first for us. We've only ever gotten two variations of the attitude report: Content or Cheerful. According to his teachers, he's always playing well with others. I really didn't think they ever used those other boxes... until today:
I should have known that the thoroughly marked "Not listening" box wasn't going to lead to a good narrative. And, here it is.
The all caps and exclamation point on the 'he would tell them "NO!"' part really makes this an achievement for the little dude. Today he enjoyed... misbehaving.

  2. Well, everyone has an "off" day every once in awhile. I'm sure he'll be a good listener tomorrow - Aunt Holly

  3. I think his day started out with a needle at the doctors office. That would rank right up there with a reason to be grumpy.
