Carolyn's teacher had to talk to me yesterday, but not at all in a "your kid is the spawn of satan" kind of way. The teachers just wanted me to know they're not using the F-word to teach the Letter of the Week.
The kids were washing their hands in this giant communal sink, and they started saying things like, "You're cussing," and "Stop cussing."
Carolyn's witness to this and likes to get in the act. So she tells them to stop cussing. Next thing, Carolyn is asking her teacher, "What's cussing?" Love her, right!
So Ms. Casey says cussing is saying something that isn't nice. Fine. Carolyn goes back out to finish her hand washing, but then comes running back to her teacher all in a tither.
"Now they're cussing at me!"
Penny's little misunderstandings also lean on the side of super cute.
She's really into getting dressed. She gets dressed about 10 minutes after waking up, and puts on her jammies about 10 minutes after getting home for the night.
And not just that, but it's important that she match.
Yesterday, she wore her horizontally striped turtleneck with big blocks of bright rainbow colors with her new horizontally striped Valentine's Day pants with pencil-thin lines of pink and red stripes.
You might think these two items might clash, but they're both striped. The other day, she wore a shirt/pants combo because they both had butterflies on them. To Penny, these things totally mean matching — and are super, super cute.
Also, this non-matching type of matching is better than Carolyn's preference of wearing nothing but sweatpants.

That's funny that Penny likes to match. I tried to put Isaac's bear shirt on after his moose pajama bottoms. He's all 'No, moose shirt?' Luckily, he was okay with the explanation that it wasn't clean. Otherwise, there might have been a toddler meltdown!
