You know we went through some issues at my girl's previous school, and it's just heart breaking. I hope that Pumpkin is able to get through this without it hurting too much and that she learns the skills to handle herself in the future. That's all we can hope for, right?<br /><br />Good luck with the job and the sleep!<br /><br />I love that Pumpkin is helping Petunia with what she wants to do. I often have to remind my girl that her little brother doesn't know what she wants or means when she tries to get him to play one of her games that he doesn't yet understand. But it's so nice to know they are playing together and trying to figure it out.<br /><br />Love that picture!caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-81944996407309491182011-02-11T10:07:45.806-08:002011-02-11T10:07:45.806-08:00I'm so sorry to hear about the challenges Pump...I'm so sorry to hear about the challenges Pumpkin is still having with Miss B at daycare.

The little girl had told her, "You're not my friend," and that she wasn't a fast runner. They were little things, but completely devastating to my very emotional 3 year old. I told her that if someone said/did something mean, to say, "I don't like that," walk away and play with someone else. I didn't hear anything more about it from my daughter, but her teacher came up to me one day, and told me I should be proud of how assertive my daughter was being with this girl, so I am guessing she did it. I think the problem with the two girls was that my daughter really likes playing house, dolls, etc. and the other girl is more into running around. Since they are 3, they didn't understand that they are just different, and being friends doesn't mean they have to enjoy all the same activities. Now, however, the two are inseparable to the point where they kiss, not hug, when they leave at the end of the day. Learning how to interact with others is a tough, delicate thing, I think, and I wish I knew more about how to help my kids better navigate through it.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263030421532176496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-27719406566174378922011-02-10T10:12:48.592-08:002011-02-10T10:12:48.592-08:00OK, so as promised: the title refers to one of the...OK, so as promised: the title refers to one of the almost certainly apocryphal stories for the source of the name of Perl (a scripting language)- people joked that it stood for "Pathologically eclectic rubbish lister".<br /><br />Yes, I'm that lame.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-85073886642196121262011-02-09T19:00:46.017-08:002011-02-09T19:00:46.017-08:00Oh god, someone must have got the babies together ...Oh god, someone must have got the babies together and told them that climbing is all the rage nowadays! In the last couple of days, Moo has started climbing into the basket of her little trolley, standing up and then rocking back and forth to make it move. Not so bad inside on the cork tiles, but a bit terrifying outside on the brick paving. <br /><br />And hurrah for a *decent* nights sleep. I got one last night, and oh, it just makes life so much easier to cope with, doesn't it?!<br /><br />Yay for the (nearly) job offer. It's maddening though, waiting for the details to become concrete.Zenmoohttp://zenmastermoo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-53668635023874117782011-02-09T11:05:17.058-08:002011-02-09T11:05:17.058-08:00Good luck with jobs and sleep and bullies.

Standing on the seat, hands on the handles. It's so funny that babies around the world are really not so different from each other in the things they do. Makes you realize that grown up people aren't so different either, we all come from the same place, precariously balancing on our tricycles/school buses, testing our boundaries.Melbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248392923064542646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-56487905401718630902011-02-08T17:38:03.556-08:002011-02-08T17:38:03.556-08:00I love Pollywog in a Bog!

I hate that it becomes an issue so early! Are we just looking for it more? I tend to be pretty passive, and don't like confrontation, so when I see another little kid take a toy from my monkey we always talk about it later..."you know that if you weren't done playing with it you can say no, that they can have a turn when you're done, right?" But then I worry that I'm ruining the message when I encourage sharing with friends. He seems fine but it kills me, and brings out some best let lie latent momma bear tenancies.Heranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-80018929556912501022011-02-07T14:49:38.678-08:002011-02-07T14:49:38.678-08:00Glad Petunia slept better, YAY for pretty-much-a-j...Glad Petunia slept better, YAY for pretty-much-a-job-offer, and sorry that Pumpkin is dealing with a bully already :(Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695509619557410413noreply@blogger.com
