Each day Michael gets a report. They send reports home for the younger kids who can't tell you how their day is at their daycare school. Nick and his teacher both tell me how his day was each day. And aside from singing during nap or occasional rough days when he gets sassy with his teacher, Nick does very well in school. Nick loves school. He wrote his first word without tracing last night, 'LION', and we were both very excited! :) Michael has a different experience with school.
Every afternoon I start wondering what Michael may have done that day and just how aggravated his teachers are going to be with him. He is a very sweet little boy, but loves to do things for reactions. So when he took off his shoes and socks at school and had a big reaction to it, he thought that was just hilarious. So now, for the past month, every day except for one, I hear that Michael has taken his shoes off every day, typically multiple times a day. He pulled the toy kitchen down on himself twice because he thinks he is spiderman and will not stop climbing things. He actually does that at home and we have designated climbing areas because for some reason he really seems to have the need to climb up things. Still, every once in awhile I will find him on the top of a shelf, table, and once in the kitchen sink. A couple of times he hit his teacher when she took his bear. Definitely not good. He only hits one boy, who he calls '--- is a bad boy' whenever he refers to him. His teachers seem to agree with that one. He annoys everyone, not just Michael. Last week Michael sprinted out of the classroom when he saw the opportunity, straight up to the directors office. His teacher went after him as soon as she saw him escape, but we both agree, he is FAST, so she wasn't able to catch him until he made it up the steps and into the office.
Then came yesterday's report. 'Michael bit a friend...for no reason at all." His teacher went on to say that there was a girl in his classroom and Michael randomly went over and bit her in the butt. Now, I am not completely convinced about this one. Michael's kisses look scarily like bites, as anyone who knows him well and has been kissed by him knows. He open his mouth wide, presses it against your cheek (not typically THOSE cheeks, but he has done that before too) and then does something that sounds like a growl that I believe is supposed to be loving. His kisses are a bit terrifying. I can see where it could be misperceived, but since I have never seen Michael do anything unprovoked except to Nick, and even then, that is more like an ongoing battle of who can annoy the other one the most, I am guessing he just kissed his little girlfriend in his own very weird way...on the butt.
The thing I like most about the reports are the written or verbal statements...."he thinks he's just hilarious." Because he really does. Michael wakes up every morning happy just to be alive. He is effusively joyful and amused by himself, others, and random little things that I wouldn't have noticed without his peals of laughter in response to whatever small thing he felt was so funny. He is charmed by anyone who tries to be a little bit nice to him and has plenty of hugs and kisses and cuddles for his favorite people. And although he is constant bundle of energy, mischievious and quick tempered at times, he is good hearted, sweet, loving, and a very happy little boy. So rock on, baby Michael. Please, just no more baby butt biting.
