HA!

Yes I'm still alive, sorry I haven't updated.

Kids say the funniest things. I teach three year olds so you don't expect them to have advanced logic, but sometimes they surprise you. I took out baby doll toys for some of my kids to play with yesterday, and a little girl that was playing with them decided she wanted to play with something else. I asked her to clean up what she was playing with first before she left the area...and she said "but YOU took it out. YOU took it out for us to play with, why do I have to clean it up?" I guess it's not as much logical as it is hilarious and cute. 

One of my kids went to poop and said "OK I'm going to drop some kids off at the pool!" HAHA those kind of kids are the ones I love, the ones that can say the most absurd, gross things but are so cute about it and you can't help but laugh at them.

And onto a rant. I have a child that isn't potty trained and poops himself. He has two or three times a day that he usually does it so we put him on the toilet at that time and can usually save ourselves a stinky mess, but there are a lot of times it's impossible to make him sit and go, especially with 19 other children in the room. Once, he was sent to go potty, watched sit on the toilet, and when he was checked on a few minutes later he was standing up next to the toilet with his pants pulled up, full of shadoobie (thanks, Chelsea Handler!). When his mom was told about it, she simply said "OH, did you not know you had to poop?" I have a feeling not much is being done to help him get potty trained at home. That's what upsets me. I understand your children are at school a LOT of hours a week, but you STILL need to HELP US help YOU get your child potty trained. Some of my kids that ARE potty trained STILL come into school with diapers, and even worse--diaper RASHES, because their parents are lazy and irresponsible and don't bother keeping up with their child's potty schedules.

And yet another rant...some parents have NO IDEA how to dress their children in accordance with the weather. It's the summer, over 80* every day, and humid, yet these parents dress their children in long pants, jeans, sweatpants, and dark colored shirts. The playground is mostly shaded, but really? These poor kids sweat badly enough as it is, don't add to it! And I have a child whose parents request we put her spring JACKET ON HER when we go outside. REALLY?!?! A JACKET? Seriously?! I'd rather not have a child with a heat stroke. /rant

Off to another day of fun and stress.
