Gross:

A baby spent so much time in the sandbox that there was a ton of sand in his poopy diaper and it was a disaster to clean up.

A baby had diarrhea and it got everywhere, including all over a teacher’s clothes, her arm, the rug, and somehow, inexplicably, even on another baby.

A baby was still pooping after I wiped his bottom.

A baby somehow slobbered on my tummy.

Cute:

An older baby was helping me clean up and I asked her to pick up the balls in the yard and put them in a basket and then she got distracted and was running around in circles, so I asked her, “Hey, I thought you were helping me pick up the balls! What happened? Are you over that plan?” and she responded, “Yeah, I’m over that plan.”

I showed some babies how to jump up and down and one of the babies was super into it. The next day he found me and remembered and pointed at me and pointed at the ground and said “UH!” I asked him what he wanted and he repeated the same process. I said I wasn’t sure what he wanted again, and he repeated the process and said “JUMP!”

One of the babies now shrugs his shoulders and looks around questioningly every time anyone says “Where is [anything]?”

A baby who hasn’t been with us a very long time climbed the stairs by the window and said clearly, “Christa! Towel.” Her parents also said she walks around the house saying my name for no apparent reason. This is awesome.
