I took the other kids inside and sent them with my assistant to wash hands and transition to preschool time. I stood by the door spying through the window (where I live they have to be within sight and sound, I wasn't breaking any regulations by having this child outside without an adult). She went down the slide once. Went to get on a ride on toy, looked around and pouted. came to the back door and tried to open it. she couldn't get it so she started crying. That's when I opened it. her adventure lasted about 2 minutes, then she spent 4 minutes in time out for not following directions and coming inside when she was told to.
Crossing my fingers that this is a joke....
