Pet Peeves

1. Clean your children's finger nails and toe nails. Seriously. If they are under 5 , then chances are that their childcare provider sees the dirty, long nails and it's gross. And it looks unkept. And it's gross.

2. If you have a child that naps at school/day care ... please do not send them there wearing shoes that light up when they stomp. At naptime, they will want to stomp to see the shoes light up. Same thing about the new shirts that light up when they move ... its distracting and gets inthe way of settling down for nap.

3. If you have a child that wears pull-ups ... please only send the kind to school that have the velcro sides. If you send the kind that dont have velco sides, then we have to take off pants, and shoes every time your child needs a pull up changed ... it is annoying!

4. Dont send your child to school carrying loose change, because they think it's cool to have money. It's a choking hazard and it's dirty.

5. If you are a parent dropping off your child to school or day care .... keep it simple, and quick! The longer you stay and comfort, the harder it is when you leave. If you kiss, hug and reassure that you'll be back later .. and leave ... they are almost always better within 5 minutes!

Okay. I feel better.
