There's a little boy that attends Accalia's storytime as part of an in home daycare who really disturbs her. Last week he went around making wierd hissing noises, and Accalia wanted to sit on my lap while the stories were being read. This week he started doing that with Cole. This daycare mom just sits as far away from the kids as possible and lets the librarian deal with it all. Thankfully other mothers usually jump in to help out when these kids are acting up.

One little girl from the daycare is always left strapped in a stroller throughout the hour to 1 1/2 hours they're there. Today she was lifting up a heavy wooden bead maze that bonked another little daycare kid younger than Cole on his head. He started crying and screaming, so I picked him up. It kind of scares me when kids are so eager to go to a stranger to be comforted. Of course, maybe this is because both Accalia and Cole usually scream louder when they see it's not me comforting them.

After the library, we headed to my co-Leader's house. We spent about two hours there, and Accalia was pretty sad to leave because her friend Ben hadn't been able to stay as long and they didn't get enough time to play together. Karen loaned us a couple Winnie the Pooh audio tapes to listen to on the way home, which perked Accalia up. She also brought home her pine cone family that she had collected, and we spent most of the trip talking about how we would make a home for them out of a box. Accalia and I have been working on the house on and off since we got home.

Accalia is just crazy about anything that even resembles a dollhouse. She is going to go nuts when she sees the dollhouse and accessories that Cory's dad made her for Christmas. She may even go more nuts when she sees the family that dear, sweet Anne is making for her.
