Toddlers are Quackers

[BullChick]

Good morning, parental units!
Duckling had another dry night! I already put the diapers and Pull-ups away, but not in "outgrown" storage. I was going to say I'm packing them away today, but as I'm typing, I'm thinking it's best to put them in the diaper bag. If I pack them away, I'll lose them. Then something will come up that I need them.
I swear I'll stop getting so excited about this soon. Just not until everyone else can stop with the daytime diapers!

Hi m c! May I join in your adventures with duckling here?
I had no idea she was your niece. . I thought maybe the "others" were grandparents or what not. . sounds like you are a hero to her. I admire you for stepping up and being her special person.

 

[BullChick]

Awe! Thank you. Of course you may join.

Awe! Thank you. Of course you may join.

So she is 3 now right?

 

[BullChick]

Yup

 

[shawluvsbirds]

Oh boy. . 3 Was way worse than two for my little girl. Lol

Were you mad that they cut her hair?

 

[BullChick]

She's worse at three too, but there is a lot happening to her right now. Mostly that her bios were talked into Early Headstart. How we went from me home schooling her to that... well, I'm not the legal guardian. I must play by the rules for now.
Was I mad about her hair? Furious is too mild a word. I should have cut her bangs to begin with.

 

[Phage]

The hair will grow back. It is not important. Her love for you is. They did not take that away.

What was the reasoning behind the headstart decision?

Are the bios planning on more children?

 

[BullChick]

The woman that visits weekly (some kind of government checkup thing. Still don't understand) said it would be a good idea. Apparently I taught Duckling too much. I was there for a visit, and when I was finally told by my brother-in-law to answer the rest of her questions, I went back and corrected his answers. Apparently baking cookies, cakes and pizza (dough too) at two isn't common. She knew sign language already, and I was doing round two of potty training (which I'm glad is done!). So I admit she's ready in intelligence and is great at sharing. But I'm concerned about other things.
I also am completely against preschool at all. But I swear that isn't why I'm struggling with this. I am truly concerned that it's going to cause serious problems I won't say in public.
They are still hoping for other children.

I can not believe anyone would choose to send their child to head start rather than having her home schooled by someone who loves them and has already taught them so much.
That's insane.
