Daycare Kids!

The kids in my daycare are cracking me up today!

There is a little boy I watch that just turned 2! He is starting to talk more and more, which is really exciting! One of his favorite things are cars. Only, whenever he says the word “car”, he combines the first part of car and the last part of truck. The end result is a word that sounds like “cawk”, which is not a pleasant word to hear. Right now he is walking around the house saying, “more cawk, more cawk!”. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to teach him the word car, he still wants “more cawk”. It is especially humorous when we have visitors or are out of the house!

There is also a little girl in my daycare that has a new baby sister! She is very very proud of this, and loves her new sister very much. However, I think she may have be harboring some subconscious feelings of resentment. Last week I got a new 1-year old baby in my daycare and she does not like this baby. The first couple of days she would be in the middle of playing, and then just walk over and hit the new baby on the head! This week she has resorted to “accidently” dropping blocks right next to the babies head. Hopefully they are keeping a close eye on her with her sister!

Also, why is it that when kids say something to you in a quiet voice, and you tell them you can’t hear them, they decide to speak in an even quieter whisper?! Every single kid I have watched has done this! It is infuriating! The more I try and speak louder so they will understand that I cannot hear them, the quieter they speak, until they are just mouthing words at me! I think next time I am going to try talking back to them in a whisper and then maybe they will speak louder since they cannot hear me! I will report back on my findings of this scientific study.
