Tales from Toddlers

Today I had the pleasure of helping out at preschool again today. It was a little hectic to tote Addie around and help a bunch of three year olds learn how to use scissors. Why do we always have to do a cutting craft on my helper day. I have a hard time assisting children in the education of using scissors.

Of course Murphy's Law prevails. I toted Addie along as she generally naps all morning so I had visions of her dozing in her carseat while I bounced around helping kids. Not so much....this morning my dear sweet Addie decided that it was awake day. Good thing I packed the sling just in case. Sling or no sling, teaching kids to cut, not my bag. Colouring...give me colouring or even paint I am good at paint, but cutting oh the cutting. It ranks up there with white glue for me. But I prevailed once again and made it through the day.

Preschool is always good for a laugh, some of the things the kids come out with are priceless. I think my favorite part of preschool is circle time as this is when the children get to share all of their tales with the teacher. Last time I was the helper mom a little girl shared a story about her Dad and how he forgot to flush the toilet and they went away for the weekend. There were gagging noises and tales of the smell upon return home as well as a rendition of her Mother's reaction. I came home with sore sides from laughing so hard as she was so serious while sharing her story. I still can't look her Dad in the face knowing what I know. You never know what your children are saying about you when you aren't around.

All in all, preschool was good today. Of course you know it's always a good day at preschool when the teacher has to remind a student that it isn't good practice to lick your feet.
