This on is in honor of Jonathan Courter.
At snack:
"More!" Billy shouts.
"More what?" I ask.
"That!" He points at the bowl of food.
"More cottage cheese?" I suggest.
"Cottage pee!" He shouts.
"More cottage cheese, please." I prompt.
"MORE COTTAGE PEE PEE!"
I should've seen that coming.

i have a baby in my tummy
(this actually happened last week)
"I have a baby in my tummy!" Suzy says.
"Me too!" Says Sue.
Suzy then walks over to one of the other teachers, lifts her shirt, "grabs" at her stomach and hands an invisible something to her.
"Here you go. You can you hold my baby, Billy, okay?"
Then Sue proceeds to go to the window sill and lay in it, putting her knees up.
"Are you feeling sleepy, Sue?" I ask.
"Nope. I'm just laying down to get the baby out." She says plainly.
Well, of course!

that's not poop!
Because this story involves two "Suzies," I will call one Suzy, and one Sue.
Suzy was busy putting her baby's diaper on it's naked little body when Sue walked up to her and pointed at the doll, "Your baby has poop!" she exclaimed.
"No she doesn't," Suzy said. "Where?"
"Right there!" Sue points directly at the doll.
Suzy then understands that her friend is very confused and straightens the matter up quickly,
"That's not her poop, that's her PEE-NUSS!"
"Oh." Sue says, as if it's the most logical explanation she's ever heard.
I have the answer to the question you're thinking in your head. The answer is YES. Yes, we do have politically AND anotomically correct baby dolls in our classroom. This doll happened to be an african-american boy baby. Make sense now?

leslie come back?
We're starting a new school year on Tuesday with all new kids-all new "Billy" and "Suzys". But on the last day of school, little Billy looked up at me and said, "Leslie come back?" Which was something he said often to all the teachers; when you were leaving for the day, when you left for lunch, even when you needed a potty break...
But this time, it totally made me tear up, because I knew I would be back, but it would be so different.
