Because my baby is calling me Miss Firstname-Mom. Maybe I need a username change lol

We're just trying to teach DS our names before he goes to school. He's got mine, but DH is "Mr Firstname" because that's what DS's friends call us. For some reason he didn't pick it up for me. Maybe because DH's name is shorter.

B is kinda a hot mess because of this daycamp thing. I think it's because he goes from there to daycare and doesn't seem to be getting much of a nap.

S is still a hot teething mess. Yesterday he grabbed my finger and bit down on it and then grinned at me. Like "Hey mom! Check it out! I can do damage now!" God, I did not miss this phase.

ETA: Because both children are a hot mess, my H is a grouchy miserable person to be around as well. Fuckin' A, man.

DS calls me mommy first name like I am a sister wife (or I guess sister mom)

DH is travelling this week and I had a really bad day yesterday, so I took the girls to the mall and had auntie anne's pretzels and dairy queen for dinner. Of course as soon as we video chat with him before bed, the little snitches told on me!

We drove past Target last night, and DD said she wanted to go shopping for more lipstick. She has at least 15 different lipsmackers and chapsticks and the like. Who has been showing her the damn makeup thread?

I need to start planning her third birthday party. I really want to do a "sugar and spice and everything nice" theme, with bright colors and a candy buffet, but she has mentioned a Yo Gabba Gabba party. Maybe I can keep her quiet with some YGG plates.

Yet another thing he learned while hanging with me last week!!

[pescalita]

We started playing around with A calling him "J" and calling J "A". First he got upset and then he got the joke and now he thinks it's hilarious, so we go on to I'm Daddy and Daddy's Mommy, etc. Then we added in our names. I didn't expect him to know them but he came up with them all on his own.

He also knows our ages now. First I told him mine, and I rounded up for my August b'day, but then I didn't want Carl to get butthurt about not being exact with his (his b'day is in Sept). So now A thinks I'm 32 and Carl is 31. Harumph. His first guess was that we were 5.

His mind is going to be blown in September. DS learned ours earlier this year, but DH's birthday was 4 months ago and DS refuses to acknowledge that DH is 39. He gets very upset about that fact. Yes, DS, your daddy is OLD! :-)

My little asshole child locked me out of the house today. It's like in the 90s and I didn't have shoes on because I was running outside to throw something away. Uncool, bro.

DS (3.5) just told me over dinner that Miss S hit him on the butt and mouth today at school because he didn't listen.
I know he's not totally truthful, but there's probably something here isn't there?

What? That is alarming. Do you hit him on the butt and mouth, and maybe he is projecting/embellishing?

I'd ask more questions, for sure.

We do butt spankings, but never face. He seems a bit sad about it which is really worrying me. Definitely will be following up.

Ask him to show you.

Then wait about an hour or so and ask him again to tell you the story. If you get one that's rather similar, including what happened leading up to it, you've got a problem.

I took a tour of a preschool/center today for DD3, because our in-home is closing. I liked it well enough, but I've always used in-homes, so I don't really know, ya know? Thursday we're going to see a Montessori school.

:/ is there another teacher in the room?

Sent from my SCH-I545 using proboards

It's not his normal daytime teacher. It's the one there in the mornings, but typically there are two then (they've been pretty good on compliance lately).

I'll ask again in the morning. He repeated the story to DH about 20 min later when asked

Update on DS: I talked with the director and it appears that one of the floaters has a child in the center and yesterday her own child but her hard on the shoulder and she popped him in the mouth. The director saw it and corrected her right then that it was unacceptable. Director does not remember if DS was in the room because with current enrollment they've been shifting rooms a lot. She apologized profusely and will be talking to all the teachers tomorrow. I do not think DS was hit, but I think that teacher needs to be watched and may deserve more.
