She did it again. Sort of.

Well noodle has been testing her teachers to no end this week. The other day they called me to tell me she had busted the lip of one of classmates. She hit him with part of a toy. I will say this is the same kid who constantly pushes her and I'm not surprised she did it. However, I feel like they are treating her like she is the sole problem. I mentioned to the director that the other child antognizes her and she said that noodle seems to be learning from him. I was thinking to myself "NO, she's pissed off and getting him back." They are getting ready to move her up to the next class and he won't be in it so I think things are going to improve soon. I hope anyway.

Mom shall relax now and try not to scream. Heehee. When they called me at work to tell me about it I got off the phone and told my co-worker what happened. Everyone in the room wanted to know who made her mad. Two of them were people I don't know so I guess they looked at me and figured my kids were the type who had to be pushed into behaving like that. They would be right. The kid she hit tried to choke her about a month ago. He also picks on her regularly. I told her to play with some of the others, but for some reason she likes this kid. I hope this is not a pattern that she sticks with or I may never let her date.

daughter sent home from daycare

Well today was fun. I got up and sent the kids to school today. My noodle (for those who don't know my daughter) didn't act like she really wanted to go. Then I got myself off to work. I didn't want to go either, but that's life. A couple of hours into work my cell phone rings, and I can't answer it because I'm busy. I figured it was just my hubby and it was no big deal. A moment later the office phone rings and it's the daycare. It turns out that noodle decided to be very difficult today and threw herself down on the floor in a flaming fit. They wanted me to come get her. Now my ADHD son has never had this happen and my daughter has never thown herself on the floor like that. I called my boss and she let me go home.

When I pick her up I could tell the daycare people thought I was going to get angry at them and were being very careful explaining things to me. I'm guessing other parents have lost it before. I asked questions about her behavior for the week and found out she had been like this for a few days. (Thanks for letting me know before you toss her out for the day.) I took her to the Dr to make sure she wasn't sick and all appears well except tonight she gagged and almost threw up. Then went right back to normal. Go figure.

I personally thing this has to do with her regular teacher being out following surgery.

I did notice that when I went back later to get my son the daycare people were looking at noodle like she was a terrible child. It was making me angry. She is going tomorrow and apologizing to her teacher again and we're going to work on it. There is a boy in her class that antagonizes her too. Time to deal with it and I think that will fix the problem. (crossing fingers)
