With a lot of kids at Kayla's daycare moving to a new school a couple weeks ago, her and many of her friends moved over to the big kids room. She's still with her buddies - Anabelle, Max, Nate, Olivia, Torrin, and Ashley. The toddler gram that I now get at the end of the day allows them to circle any or all of the following behaviors that she exhibits during the day:

NICE TO FRIENDS
FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS
GOOD MANNERS

She consistently has the 1st and 3rd circled but doesn't do so well on following directions. The teacher even wrote a note last week saying "She really didn't want to follow directions at all today, but she's still such a cutie." So, we know what we have to work on.

However, she's doing great using the potty at school. The aids even told me that she's doing better than some of the 3 year-olds. Sometimes though in the morning she doesn't want to go for us at all because she wants to go for Ms. Maria (her teacher). I think she's actually doing better at using the potty at school than at home.

I love to hear the comments and funny stories from the teachers. One day I walked in to pick her up and they asked if I was there to pick up Miss Chatterbox. Another time, the teacher said she loves how she can hold such grown up adult conversation. At home she's cracked us up several times by looking at us, pointing her finger and saying "Be right back. Don't move." She goes to run and get something but looks back several times to make sure we're not moving.
