File this under I didn’t see that coming. Today I got an email from Thing 3’s teacher. It was cryptic enough to send my imagination racing.
The teacher said, “Are you able to see the room? (there are web cameras) We need to talk when you come to pick him up”
I couldn’t imagine what I’d see. I figured he injured himself. Or trashed his clothes. Or broke something expensive.
This is what I saw. The one screen capture doesn’t do it justice. The classroom was completely trashed.
What you don’t see is the other half of the room, where there were shredded scraps of paper everywhere.
Thing 3 had been on a tear. Picking up containers and dumping them out. As soon as the teacher tried to clean up one mess, he was on to the next. He wasn’t angry or having a tantrum. He was just having a good time.
“It just happened so fast. I’ve never quite seen this before,” said the teacher. Coming from an experienced teacher with a room full of two year olds, that says something.
When I tell people Thing 3 is very active and into everything, even for a two year old, I don’t think the full impact comes across just how much work it is to keep up with him. This gives a glimpse. He is off the charts.
Hahaha – that’s it! From now on, Thing 3 will be known as Taz. Seems appropriate, since all your kids are in to vinage cartoons! How funny. How do you curb that??? Mystery!
That is incredibly impressive. Thing 3 is awesome.
