Crash

When I picked up Ty today he was still taking his nap as were his classmates. He was very good about getting dressed and toileted quickly and quietly. I tried to stay out of the way so the other kids wouldn't get up. It seems like the staff do not like the parental visits to the kids rooms.

When I went to get him, Maxx was dressed in a little fur vest. It made him look a bit older. The vest went off almost immediately when we got to the bonding room as I didn't want it to get dirty.

I don't remember if I posted that the bonding room was rearranged and as a result there are now "hiding" places the boys like to hide. Maxx decided to hide, fell and bit his lip. He cried and I made the mistake of saying "we haven't seen Ty cry yet".

I moved a tricycle to cut off access to that "hiding" place. Maxx thought it was fun to throw items into the hiding area and hoped we'd let him get them. The kids in his group often throw their toys out of the playpen to get attention. We basically ignored the things he threw aside.

Ty was into looking at books today and repeating words. Then he decided to move the tricycle and ride it. Of course, Maxx took this as an opportunity to hide. As I was getting Maxx out of his hiding place, Ty fell off the tricycle and hit his head against the leg of the bassinet in the room. He cried for a good 5 minutes. He didn't have any marks on head or face that would bruise nor was he bleeding. Maxx was taken a back by this. He tried to give Ty his sippy cup as I rocked Ty.

Both boys enjoy emptying my backpack when we get together. I took out my comb and showed Maxx how I comb my hair. He wasn't interested in having his combed.

There are still ants in the bonding room and today, Ty used a bingo piece to make a little house for them.

Both boys were very talkative and interested in being lifted, swung around and all sorts of rough play. Today, Maxx let me flip him upside down and he laughed. He motioned for me to do this at least 3 more times. Now both boys want to play this game at the same time. Randy and I will have a lot of Ty and Maxx workouts.
