Working with children younger than two is great if you are having a bad day: there is an extremely high chance that at least one ankle-biter will take a spill and need to be held and comforted (which is very soothing on the teacher's end too). On the other hand they relieve themselves in diapers. There was a poopy one the other day that completely defeated me. I undid the velcro and immediately gagged (and I have changed some messes that resembled a diabolical practical joke involving chili and brimstone) and had to ask someone else to do it. It was humiliating.
The 2's classroom (children between 2 and almost 3 are in there) goes outside to the play area before the toddler classroom does (children who walk and eat solid food but aren't two yet). Both classroom doors open onto this playground, so one of the 2's teachers, B, frequently will fling open the door and flirt with the cutest toddlers and chat with the toddler teachers. Today B opened the door and shouted:
"Be careful, we're missing a turd."
"?" said the toddler teachers.
Apparently (I heard this second hand) they found the "mess" but not the turd. B never explained HOW they lost a turd, or if they ever found it again, but the toddler teachers spent a good half hour scouring the playground for stray turds. They never found it. Luckily, the children haven't found it either.
