If it makes you feel any better...

So, everyone knows Caitlin is an ornery turd. LOL. She is always getting into trouble and lately has been perfecting her skills in ignoring me completely. She is fiercely independent which also makes for some interesting battles (which I choose carefully, of course).

So I was a little leary about starting her in preschool because I was afraid she would be one of those kids... you know the ones. The ones who are "biters" or "hitters" or who are constantly in time out. The ones who make their teachers want to go home and have a stiff drink.

Turns out my fears were unfounded.

The other day, my mom was picking her up from preschool. It was quite warm that day and my mom was telling Caitlin that she didn't need her jacket on. Of course, Caitlin wanted to wear the jacket so she was arguing and fighting for the jacket.

Then one of the teachers said... "If it makes you feel any better, she always listens to us. She is so good. She is the best one we have."

Wait, what????

Apparently she is Miss Perfect at preschool. She listens, she eats, she sleeps. I don't know how they do it. Maybe they drug her. (LOL, I'm kidding, of course).

I guess it does make me feel better in a way. At least she listens in that setting. She is capable of it. Now if she would just extend that courtesy to me at home....
