Diaper Derby

Jo attends St. John's Mercy Childcare Center, and this week was "Week of the Young Child." Her teachers are Margaret & Becky, and they are the best!! Jo loves them, and I think they are some of the best daycare teachers I have ever known (I do have some experience with daycare teachers!) Anyway, a few years ago they started "The Diaper Derby." I thought it was the funniest thing to do. About a week ago, I sent a note to them that said the following "Please feed me only carbohydrates as I am in training for the Derby." Margaret sent a small 1 pound weight back for training over the weekend. I got the biggest kick from our give & take each day.














Jo & Logan just waiting for the Derby to start.













Jo is finally moving toward the finish line!













Jo stopped & said "why all the fuss, you know how fast I am."


















Jo is in the Apple Room, and they competed against the Banana & Pear Room.

Well, the Diaper Derby was on Tuesday, and there was major competition from Logan (Jo's boy toy - another one of my friendly jokes). Jo & Logan are two peas in a pod. He is a big boy, but Jo and him are constantly causing trouble in the room. They get into everything and have a really tough time sharing. They actually bit each other this week! Anyway, we thought these two would be taking off & easily win the Derby. Instead, they just sat there. Jo actually crawled after a few minutes, but Logan got upset & wouldn't do anything. I think they were intimidated by all the people staring at them! It was still adorable, and I enjoyed spending time with Jo during the day. I am always at St. MM vs. the daycare, and Jo deserves some more of my time.

Pete & I also had breakfast together at the cafeteria!! Now that was fun - seriously, it was nice to have a meal where we could talk & not have someone interrupting us or needing something.
