Take a look for yourself. Finger painting would seem to be right up his alley as he loves to get messy! We love his teacher, Mrs. Kathie, and so does he. She loves Berik, as well and we will really miss her at the end of August when we have to move up a class, to the 2's. There will be two new teachers in that class and right now we don't know who they will be.Well, wouldn't you know, shortly into this month, Berik comes up with some weird looking rash on his face. It looked like someone had taken a red sharpie pen and dotted his whole face, especially around the eye and temple area. He didn't seem to be bothered with it but it was most obvious and he didn't look good. Off to the doctor, to find out he had Petechiae. That is, small red or purple dots, that don't fade when touched, due to broken capillaries, due to forceful coughing or chocking.We were told by the Dr. that Petechiae doesn't show up the instance the child coughs or chocks we linked it to a coughing/chocking episode at the dinner table a couple of nights before. Whew!! That's all it was. Note.. IF it has fever with it then it could be linked to bacterial sepsis especially with meningococcal disease which is highly contagious and fatal. THANK GOD WE DID NOT HAVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I pick up Berik from daycare, he is glad to see, comes running, hugs and kisses and then off he goes unless I wrangle him. He loves to run off to the water fountain and drink and play until he is soaking. He loves to play on the stairs and his favorite is the elevator. So, while other moms are picking up their tots and easing on out, I am chasing mine around and pulling him off of the stairs or fountain etc.. I am sure this is amusing to the other mom's/dad's but usually after a long day at work , this would be my last choice of entertainment.
One day, he went up the stairs and the preacher was coming down and I asked him to detain Berik, but Berik was slick and zoomed past him. After the preacher managed to catch him, he chose to ride down the elevator with Berik, rather than taking the stairs. He probably thought he would get away from him again. He delivered him safely to me and I thanked him, only to have Berik, moments later, wriggle loose and fly up the stairs. I went running after him and got there just in time for him to have pushed the button for the elevator, which promptly opened. Berik went in, the door shut and I was too late. NOT GOOD!! The church has 4 floors and doors to both sides on one floor. What could I do except stand there and watch the buttons light up. This was not a good feeling. Moments later, he arrived back downstairs where he had gotten off the first time.Smiling and laughing having himself a big time! THANK GOD, he had pushed the same button as when he and preacher Mark had ridden.
Now, I practically have a death grip on his little wrists when we go somewhere so he can't wriggle away. He doesn't like it but right now I can't afford to take any chances as he is fearless.
He is FEARLESS really UNTIL you get to live fish. He isn't to sure about those.
He was really unsure at the moment that daddy dropped the live fish in the bottom of the boat and it was flopping around. LOL! Got love that, Berik was climbing up in the seat to get away. After the fun was over, Jaimie drove out to a friends pond and let the fish loose. The month that started off fairly uneventful has increased to full speed ahead! We got to the last week in the month and had the most eventful teacher changing affair. Mommy and the teacher cried on the last day.
"Berik" gave flowers and a small gift to his teacher, and picture cards and chocolates and balloons to the part time daycare workers.
This is Ms. Sarah, she was his favorite part timer! That was on Friday. On Monday, wild horses couldn't drag him into the new class, a whole door away from his old class. He got there, took one look at the lady, she spoke to him and he put on the brakes. Mrs. Kathie, (old teacher) tried to help and he clung to her for dear life. I finally had to leave, him kicking and screaming and crying and was still late to work by a whole hour and I work less than a mile away.Jaimie, my husband hated the new teacher, from day one, like Berik, but I will try to give her a chance, but she is already awful.
***************FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day, after church he was in the nursery (same place as daycare) and I went to pick him up and he had two non-clothed dolls, one in each arm. He rushed up to the door and says, look mommy, babies, to which I replied, "Oh, Cool, are those your babies are you having twins?" He immediately threw the both of them to the ground and said "No" . He was pretty sure about his decision and made it in a hurry. He is so cute with real babies and loves to look at the "real" twins in the infant room.
This brings me up into Sept and I am, as usual out of time, so I will leave this here and pick when I can, for Sept. It is Dec. now and I am only on Sept? What? THANK GOD, I have notes about what when on in each month. You all take care! Gena
