I drop Conrad off at daycare every morning. He is the only infant there when I drop him off so he spends the first hour or so with the toddler age group. Apparently, he is quite the hit.
His teacher is training another morning worker and was telling her that she is working with the "older" kids to stay out of his face and from grabbing his hands. She says they love playing with the baby...
But, since he is forever drooling these days and sucking on his hands and getting drool just about everywhere, the toddlers then start hollering that they have "Tickle Baby Germs" and need to wash their hands. I thought this was pretty funny. They like to tickle the baby on his face but then don't like all the drool that sticks to them.
I think they also like climbing the steps to the sink. Handwashing seems to be pretty popular among their age group. All these "Tickle Baby Germs" may explain his bout with pink eye and his ever-present running nose. I have to agree with them. He is a pretty cute Tickle Baby and I can't blame them for not being able to resist him!
