I am convinced that Olin is on his way to being excused from Sagebrush Montessori. I actually harbor some fear about it. The guy had his share of peeing in his pants during school, but that was small beans compared to the tantrums he is now throwing at school.
Last week: 1 tantrum with Jill, 1 tantrum with teacher Heidi (that we know about. This was reported by leelee and nanny on the days I worked)
Today: 1 tantrum on drop-off. He refused to go into class, refused to shake teacher Heidi's hand. I took him outside, and then tried going in again. He again refused, and Heidi took him inside and closed the door, where I heard him scream for a few minutes. I am sure the entire school heard him scream, literally. It is a two-room school and I heard him when I went over to read in Leelee's class.
His new thing: He refuses to acknowledge that he did any of it. See video below, titled "It wasn't me".
Currently, I view Leelee as basically a saint. I have to remind both Dae and myself that we also had lots of 3 year old moments with Leelee when he was that age, and we still do. Actually, the blog has been very helpful in reminding me that there are lots of phases, and that we always tend to feel like the kids are being so naughty.
