How Could Our Sweetie Pie Be Bad??


How could this sweetie pie be bad at daycare? This week, he's won the 'bad baby award' which translates into him being the most fussy baby at daycare. (There's only 3 babies there so it's not hard to win this award) :)

When I'm there, he's fine. When we're home, he's fine. But while we're at work, he morphs into this demanding baby that doesn't want to play and when Florice is feeding one of the other babies, he crawls over there, pull himself up onto her knees and stands there whimpering until it's his turn.

He was doing so well for the past few weeks! Now he's regressed to his little ol' demanding self.

Hopefully, this is just a phase and maybe it's attributable to him being a little congested and possibly teething. When I call in to check and when I pick him up I feel like I'm waiting to get a bad report card. What are we doing wrong at home?

Well, it's only been this week so far....anybody have any ideas?

Hey Virginia!

It's Marcy back at PwC :) I can say that in Ryan's 3 years of life, we've had these phases. We just finished one in July - he had about 3 weeks of bad reports at daycare. Getting in trouble, having temper tantrums, you name it. It passes, trust me. Sometimes they are bored and ready to learn something new, sometimes they don't feel good or at getting a tooth, who knows. Don't sweat it, it will pass and he'll have another phase like this in the coming months and years!

Thanks Marcy! Your comments did make me feel a little better....and he's also teething (we can feel the ridges) and a little bit congested...so it's all sorts of problems rolled up into one...
