When I remind them of the conversation, as I told them I would while they were laughing, they squirm and generally mumble something about easier or feign outright indignity. I stay on them about it and would terminate over it if it came to it, never has.

I require them to have their children walk in, greet me. I then have the kids hang up their jackets, potty, wash hands and walk nicely to the playroom centers until breakfast. It is part of our daily curriculum in preparation for kindergarten. It is very important. It is how we begin each and every day while they are enrolled here.
I had two 3 1/2 year olds carried in this morning and a video of a 22 month old dcb at home this morning crying throwing fit because he didn't want his shirt on. Mom says in the video that maybe he can take the shirt off at my house. When she got here I said please don't tell him that.
