We have reached the conclusion that Jack becoming more and more like a puppy. He needs to be exercised on a daily basis or he gets stir crazy. There's a cute little park close to our house and Jack loves to go and play there. He figured out how to climb the play structure all by himself (so scary to watch!!) and he would spend hours going down the slide if we let him.
Jack really really really wants to run out into the street. We are trying to teach him about the sidewalk and how great it is to walk in relative safety, but to no avail. He prefers the street and all of its excitement. Great. One thing we have noticed is that Jack does not watch his feet at all when he is walking. Didn't they do all those studies back in the 1950's about babies having depth perception? Jack has none. He would walk right off a cliff if given the chance.
This week is parent-teacher conferences and I've been mentally preparing for the inevitable conversations that I'll be having with certain parents. How do you gently tell someone that their child is a jerk? A bully? A threat to society? When I picked Jack up from daycare today, his teacher informed me that he was pushing the other babies to the ground, laying on them, and pulling their hair and biting. Is this how it all begins??

LOL! No, not at all! I personally think that all kids go through that sometime in their toddler years. Even the kids whose moms pretend they are perfect little angels 100% of the time. (PUH-LEASE.) Do you seriously have a threat to society in your class?
