I have a friend who is magic with toddlers. I don't know how she does it. She's always patient, empathic, fun. All the kids on the blcok want to play at her house & never want to leave. Yesterday she put down a huge dropcloth on her lawn and let the kids paint all over it (& each other). Then my 2 yo had a screaming meltdown when it was time to go. She quietly wrote him a note that said he could come back any time he wanted, and everyone read it aloud to him, and he was so happy - calmly got in the stroller and buckled himself in, saying, "I'm ready now." How does she DO that?? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I have a friend like that and it's amazing to watch. She was a nursery school teacher (before her DC were born) and she must have been so great in the classroom. She does such sweet projects with her DC -- they made menorahs at Hanukkah, bake cookies to bring to school on snack days, they decorated picture frames for Mother's Day. Meanwhile, I barely reember to pick up a bag of pretzels for special snack day! [ Reply | More ]
