On Wednesday I got home from work and was greeted by two very happy little kiddos (finally, after being so sick it was so nice to see them smiling!). They are getting along famously with Grandma Allison and it really couldn't have been an easier transition to this whole full time working thing.
Wedsnesday is Hadley's toddler class which just started back up after winter break. The other moms and I all concur that toddler class is easily the most stressful 3 hours any parent will ever spend at a playgroup. It is pandamonium watching 15 1 year olds tear around (there is paint, playdough, all kinds of super duper messy things that get absolutely everywhere...it's heaven on earth for the kids). But the interactions between 15 one year olds can get pretty intense sometimes. They seem to battle over everything. It makes me wonder why toddler class doesn't include cocktail hour!
Hadley (and her BFF's Junie & Sofia) is the oldest in the class. So we tend to have more, let's call them "behavioral issues" than the rest of the kids who are closer to 1 and still perfect little angels. The more time we spend there, though, the better she gets and the last few weeks we've seen some real improvements.
Wednesday I got home from work to my daughter who somehow went from speaking in cute little 2 word sentences, to being a full blown conversationalist. It went like this:
Me: "Hadley, how was your class today?"
Hadley: "YAY!"
Me: "What'd you do?"
Hadley: "Play, Sofia, Junie, play, cars, yay"
Me: "You played cars with Sofia & Junie?"
Hadley: "Yeah. Hadley hit Sofia. Ouch! Sorry!"
So informative, that one. At least she tells on herself and not everyone else yet!
Love that little girl.
