Too Big to be Little

A 3 y.o. that left my 2s class a few months ago came over for the afternoon.

"I was in your class. This used to be my room."

Yes, I know you were in my room, but now you're in Mrs. V's room.

"I'm a big boy. I don't know why I was in here 'cause I not little. I was in my mommy's tummy when I a baby. -giggle- But I wasn't in my mommy's peepee!"

Oh, man!

One of my 2 y.o. had a bathroom accident. We're in the bathroom taking off his wet clothes, as I pull of his shorts I notice his wet sock.

Me: L, did you pee on your shoes?

"Noooo."

Why is your sock all wet?

"Oh, man! Why I do that?"

Maybe I'm Out of My Mind

Helping seven 2 and 3 year olds all at once with diapering, pulling up pants, hand washing, and ushering them out of the cramped bathroom with 3 tiny toilets and a sink.

My only 3 y.o. suddenly turns from the sink and in the deepest voice he can sings: "I know you want it/ I know you want it/ ...Blurred lines."

Stifling my laughter: E, that's not really a good song for school. Let's choose something else.

All afternoon I battle with trying to explain to a 3 y.o. why Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines is not appropriate. All I could say was, 'I know you really like the song, E, but it's not a good song for at school. Please save it for home.'

Mixing Up Sand Dough and Bubble Dough During Nap

2 y.o. scratching at my arm while trying to get him back to sleep at nap: "What's that?"

Me: Oh, play dough.
 
"Why you say 'no?'"
 
PLAY - DOUGH
 
"I can play now?"
 
No, play DOUGH
 
"Why you got play dough?"
 
I played with play dough while you were sleeping.
 
Shocked and offended: "Why you do that?!"
 
If you take a good nap, I'll let you have some too.
"Oh, okay!"
