My Diva

This week had barely begun and it is over already, I cannot believe how time is flying!

Tazlin is now really turning into a little personality, she has such a strong personality and surely she thinks she needs to get the special individual attention she gets at home ~ everywhere else...including Daycare. And she has even devised tactics to get it!
          ~ A while back the teacher told me about Tazlin crying in front of the mirror mounted on the wall in the classroom. I remember doing something like that myself when I was little, there was just something about seeing yourself sad that makes you wanna be even more sad, especially when at that age.
         ~ This week the teacher came to me, all serious and said: "Tazlin has a screaming problem" I looked away and thought to myself, oh no! She is terrorizing others or kicking up against the teachers ruling. The teacher continued to tell me that she now screams at herself in the mirror and refused to do art with the rest of the class. So they figured they'll leave her and that she'll come to them when she's ready. And that she did...she waited until everyone finished painting and then she turned from the mirror and went to go do her art. She got what she wanted...individual attention, by sacrificing some social time by standing at the mirror screaming at her reflection.
I told them yeah, she screams at home - we give her time-outs and enforce discipline as much as we can though.

The following day, when picking Tazlin up from Daycare. The teacher told us that she had pull her pants down and they didn't understand why as it wasn't really warm for her to do so, only when we left did I realize that it could be because we are potty training her at home and she might have wanted to use the potty so I did mention it to the teacher this morning when we dropped her again at Daycare, I just got a rude: "We don't potty train them here, they get potty trained when they go over to the bridging class"

Well they say what you speak over your child will be and we have been making jokes all the while about Tazlin being such a Diva, she loves attention she knows everybody likes her! That settles it (^^,)
