Baby's first...parent's evening
Always one parents will dread is parents evening, will Little Johnny be the disruptive one, or will he turn out to be teacher's pet? Will he be looked upon by other in the same way his parents do? Can he do no wrong in our eyes but be a little git in reality?
So we invented "parents evenings" to find out the truth. Or so it seems.
MOTS headed down to nursery on Monday night to find out the truth. And thankfully there were no great surprises to be had. The key points were:
- Has a fantastic bond with one member of staff (not a key worker, so not a "I want to be with them all the time" type of bond)
- As previously discussed, is a bit of a "Houdini", as he bolts for the open doors
- Will play quite happily with other kids
- Has one toy he's fond of and can get a little possessive. Unfortunately there's a little girl in on Tuesdays who like the same toy, so has to be managed
- We now know why he's not very hungry on an evening, his lunch portions are huge
- He's not missing his afternoon bottle, which he hasn't had for ages now. Some others are still on 4 bottles a day, he's on the 2. Has missed them when he's been off colour though, especially when the other babies get their afternoon bottle.
- Has a "profile". I though "profiles" were something the CIA drew up on their most wanted, or that shrinks created in the hunt for crazed klillers. Either way, proud of the boy for his aspirations.
- Oh, his profile. Contains the phrase "attention seeker". He does this by taking a sock off, giving it to a member of staff, then running away so they have to chase him to put it back on.
I'm sure I missed something in translation, I hope MOTS will get round to filling in the blanks.
