They move my baby to the toddlers room when he was 9 months, but my baby was walking by that time, so I though that there was no problem with that. But the second day that my baby went into the toddlers room, another baby came running towards him and he broke his two little tooth that he has on top. The teachers were very good with them, there was one teacher, per six kids, by the time they were eating, the teacher sat there with six plates of food at a time and gave the babies their food. They didn't let them eat by themselves until they were about 3.5 years old. You should tell that mom your experience. I guess not all daycares work the same way. Keep looking and you will find another one that makes your baby happy!!Los Chicos y Mamáhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00113847710236758774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294644703658691856.post-8303365295052245142010-08-18T21:59:12.742-05:002010-08-18T21:59:12.742-05:00Good job MM! I think you should tell that poor mom. She can make up her own mind, but at least she can be aware of what might be happening to her child.Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12641613756929020024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294644703658691856.post-77333366217841419222010-08-17T16:11:40.116-05:002010-08-17T16:11:40.116-05:00oh, my goodness!! good for you for speaking up!! i hate that you had to go through that!!! i (because i'm that kind of a person) would say something to the other mom...just because i'd want someone to tell/warn me if i were in her shoes. maybe she's the kind of mom who is afraid to speak up and maybe your story would help her keep an eye out.Mandyhttp://www.mandysmakins.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294644703658691856.post-59753917652562356552010-08-16T23:05:45.733-05:002010-08-16T23:05:45.733-05:00Ugh. Thanks for sharing. It is a struggle to let go of the little things at daycare, but it's also important to recognize what the little things truly are and what the big things are that need to be addressed. I'm sure it wasn't easy. I had only one day of frustration when Ellen was a baby and a sub teacher put our almost-walking daughter in a exersaucer so she could clean. Ells was screaming and I was pissed. I can't imagine if it had happened again. Harper will be so happy to be home with you!The Lundshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00571075154003021317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294644703658691856.post-76099206727921979272010-08-16T16:58:46.950-05:002010-08-16T16:58:46.950-05:00i'm so sorry mm. that sounds very similar to our situation. although ours only lasted 4 hours ;-) that's why. and while hank is walking and eating only table food, he was in the "toddler" room that was mixed with 2 year olds for several hours each morning. talk about getting trampled. i was never told he would be with kids that much older than him and that was not going to cut it for me. and those tables!! i walked in the one time i picked him up and he was sitting at the table signing "all done" and clearly wanting to get out (whining, but not crying) and no one was paying any attention to him at all. they are glad i didn't cause a major scene, because i could have ;-) good for you for sticking up for her and getting to stay home with her!!kinseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681397874303237115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294644703658691856.post-7052312258914002022010-08-16T08:28:13.899-05:002010-08-16T08:28:13.899-05:00If I were that other mom, I'd want to know. I think you should tell her, and you could do it in a way that would not talk bad about her child's new teachers. Maybe you could say something like - make sure you pack any type of "finger foods" that your child will eat b/c you have learned that the toddler room has different rules in terms of feeding purees, etc. That would just get her thinking and open the door in case she has more questions for you. ???Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08777036168810886840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294644703658691856.post-76530171447835706592010-08-16T07:36:50.290-05:002010-08-16T07:36:50.290-05:00Poor mama and poor Harper. I'm sure that was hard to witness. I totally agree, 9 months is way too young to be doing all of that by themselves. It is amazing how much better they are at that sort of thing at a year, but 9 months, what are they thinking?Eliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00782108816171028817noreply@blogger.com
