I am Stacey and I teach the 2 year olds class. Many two year olds still have difficulty communicating . . . you can often understand several words in a sentence, but not the entire sentence so you must decode their talk to communicate with them.
Monday, while my kids were sitting at the tables waiting patiently for me to give them their lunch, two of them were talking to each other. It was mainly a one sided conversation where a little boy was listening to a little girl talk (may as well get used to that at a young age :).) In listening to this conversation I was only able to understand one word she was saying over and over again. Unfortunately, this word was a "potty word." Ms. Stacey does not allow "potty words" to be used in her classroom and invites the child to sit in the potty if they wish to use these words. I interrupted the conversation to remind this little girl that we do not use "potty words," especially at the table. I asked her if she wanted to sit in the potty. She very quickly shook her head no and I went back to preparing their lunch. The next thing I know . . . I hear whispering. I turn around to see this same little girl continuing this "conversation" with the same little boy, but is whispering to him . . . I guess so I could not hear if she used a "potty word." I suppose you had to be there, but I thought it was hysterical!
I NEVER experience a boring day at work! They are all so funny and quite entertaining.
