The exercise:

Write two haiku about: daycare.

I haven't mentioned it previously, but Max started going to daycare just over a month ago. He's there two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays), which matches up with when his cousin Natalie is there. We started out wanting to just do mornings for the first two weeks but by the second Thursday he was doing morning and afternoon - mostly because he had no interest in leaving when we arrived to pick him up before lunch the first three days.

It's generally been going very well so far, but there is another boy who goes there who Max referred to as 'The Mean Boy' for the first couple of weeks because of what sounded like a fairly harmless incident. But he's still talking about him after pretty much every visit to daycare (by name now) so I think we're going to have to talk to his teachers to get a better idea of what's going on.

I've seen this boy on a couple occasions when I've dropped Max off and he's a bit taller and definitely more aggressive than my little dude. Hopefully we can get this figured out, because Max seems to really enjoy pretty much every other aspect of being there.

Plus, you know, it's a nice break for his parents too.

Mine:

One child, two child, three
child, four. Five... hold on. Didn't
I start with just three?
