My very-big-for-his-age 18-month old DS was just moved into the 18 mo-36 mo classroom at daycare.
There must be something in the water! For our county, more than 70% of births in 2008 were boys! In his new class, there are 12 boys, DS and one girl who doesn't come back into the class until school starts. (Her mom in in high school.) The next younger boy is 25 months.
My baby needs help! He may look as big as the other boys, but he's not! The teacher didn't help him eat, just asked DH the next morning at drop-off if he needs help. REALLY? You didn't try to help him YESTERDAY? Nope, they just maked on his pick-up sheet that he'd didn't eat any lunch. Couldn't call and ask us? Couldn't walk to the next classroom and ask his old teacher? Nope. Just let the baby be hungry.
Of course he had trouble going to sleep for nap. HE WAS HUNGRY!
He didn't play with the other boys. Well, it was a new room, and he spent time checking things out. Also, the other boys are way more advanced than DS; DS doesn't play "with" anyone, not even his parents.
He also came home wearing the wrong diapers. Turns out his diapers weren't moved from his old class with the rest of his stuff. But new teachers didn't tell/ask us or the old teachers about it. I found out when he got changed at home.
We love this daycare. They better do a whole hell of a lot better than this from now on.
