New Kids on the Block

Over the past week we have gotten three new kids, and we're booting up three of our old kids to preschool. The kids leaving are JoAnn, Katherine, and Molly. I will mise Katherine sorely, but the other two grind my gears, generally speaking, and I'm happy they'll be someone else's problem now.

New kids:

Corey - They can't just leave us with a bunch of kids who speak properly. Corey has a speech impediment worse than Bailey's. I can't understand him most of the time. He's only been here a week, and so far he has not gone potty once in the "big boy potty," flipping shit every time I try to coax him toward it and preferring to soak his pull-ups instead.

Dan - I have had to change Dan's poopy diaper twice, and both times I have wondered why his parents feed him so much fucking CORN. He shits corn. Today his poo leaked down one leg and got on the crotch of his pants. So I got to change his corn diaper and put new shorts on him. He hasn't peed on the potty yet either, at least for me. Other than crapping the produce aisle, he is VERY mannerly (today he said "no thank you" and totally floored me) though sometimes he doesn't listen. We'll work on it.

Laurel - QUIET. Very very quiet. She will play and gets along fine (after a few minutes of sitting to get used to daycare) but she hardly talks! I imagine she'll be talking soon. She wears pull-ups but I haven't had to change one yet. She doesn't have accidents, and she's SO good at going potty. She'll be my new Katherine I can take to the bathroom with Will since she's so well behaved.
