Day Care Anecdotes

Wednesday, September 28, 2011


We find out a lot of things about Cash's day to day activities from the conversations we have with his day care teachers. Some things come home with him, and other things we find out are pretty surprising. This week alone we found out a couple interesting things:

1) Cash has started walking around with his hands behind his back. It started a couple of weeks ago and now he does it about 50% of the time when he is walking. Ross and I have started calling it his "old man" walk because he does it slowly, looks around like he is surveying the situation and then bends at the waist to look at something more closely. We had no idea where it came from but we found out this week that his new day care teacher, Ms. Terry, walks around like that all the time. She previously taught the Montessori method and one of the tenents is teaching children to walk with their hands behind their backs. While Ms. Terry isn't teaching this to Cash, she told us that she still tends to do it herself out of habit and Cash has totally picked up on it.

2) The second thing we learned this week is that we're raising a bit of a thief...a Cheerio thief to be specific. For the past week or so, Cash's day report said that he hadn't been eating a lot at lunch. I asked his teacher Ms. Liddia about it the other day and she said that while he doesn't eat lunch, he is crazy about snacks. So crazy that after he has eaten his own, he will "shark around" for all the other kids snacks and eat them. I was a little mortified at that tidbit of information so hopefully we can try to break him of that habit in the future.
