Go Go GO!
Thank you guys so much! Since my last post, we’ve managed to bump up our pledges for the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition to $591!!!!! I know there is someone out there who has an extra $10 to donate to push us over the $600 mark!
Also, if you can’t make a pledge, but have something to offer up as a prize to be given away during the blogathon, please contact me! I have a few cool prizes already lined up.
I’m so proud of us!!
I forgot to mention in my last post that Bubba and Snowbaby do their share around here too. They help straighten up their room, for one. Bubba clears his plate into the trashcan and then puts it in the sink. They both know that dirty clothes go in the laundry room or in a hamper. They love to help with laundry.
On a completely unrelated note..
Daycare lady: Bubba, tell Mom what you did today?
Bubba: I put fish in the potty!
Me: You did?
Daycare lady: Our class fish died.
Me: Ohh..
Bubba: I put fish in the potty! And I flush it!
Me: Wow! Where did the fish go?
Bubba: It went bye bye.
Daycare lady: We just had a little funeral for the fish. I wanted to sing something for the fish, but the only song they know is the ABC song so we sang that.

I used to work in daycare, so I can just see my former kids! I miss the kids, I do not miss the sucky daycare.

How cute! Hey, the abc song is better than nothing.

Hey, I’m trying to put you over the edge with a ten dollar pledge. But when I push “sponsor this blogger” it goes to a plain white page with nothing on it??? I tried someone elses and it did the same thing. So, maybe the site is down and I will try again tomorrow. I’m just commenting here so I’ve committed and I won’t forget. Oh, and if there is something I’m doing wrong, maybe someone will let me know!

Oh. Oh. That made me unexpectedly choke up. It was funny and sweet and just perfect for the preschooler set.
I wouldn’t mind being sent off to the ABCs.

How could the Day Care Lady not want to laugh and cry at the same time? That is incredibly sweet.

Hey, I don’t think my crafty knitting and fabric things sold in your yard sale but maybe peeps would like them as prizes. I also have a bunch of unused fun-fur that someone h=who knits for/with kids might enjoy.

Hey, I just went to make another donation to bump it over $600, and saw that you are at $626!!

I really like your daycare lady. What a great little ritual, and she totally went with the flow of their abilities.
I realize I sound really repetitive, but every time you report on something bubba said, I am astounded by the growth of his language skills. From Truck! Boat! Dad! Truck! Boat! to Go Dad Boat. To “I put fish in the potty”. Dang. Great job!!!
… and lucky fish.
