Bite, please?

Even though Biscuit is in the toddler room at daycare now, his teacher from the infant room still stops in to see him.

Earlier in the week, she went out to pick up lunch (a 10-piece chicken nugget meal) and went into the toddler room to eat it so she could see Biscuit and some of the others who used to be in her class. The toddlers had already had their lunch, so they shouldn't have been hungry.

And they weren't ... except for one. Guess who?

Biscuit walked up to his old teacher and said, "Bite, peas?" And being the sweetie that she is, she gave him one of her chicken nuggets. He said thank you and then just stood there holding his nugget. Then she realized, he was waiting to dip his nugget in her barbecue sauce.

He dipped the nugget and walked away.

But then he came back.

"Bite, peas?" asking for another nugget. And she gave him one!

He did a repeat performance of holding his second nugget until she let him dip it in the barbecue sauce. Then he walked away.

BUT THEN HE CAME BACK! "Bite, peas?" asking for another nugget! And she gave it to him!

When she told me about it that afternoon, I scolded her. "You did not have to give him a good portion of your lunch," I told her. She said she couldn't help it because she was being sweet and saying please and thank you.

I sure do hate the he has such a rough life at daycare!
