Toddler served margarita in a sippy cup
I wish I was kidding. This really did happen. I guess that the apple juice was right next to the margarita mix and a toddler was accidentally given the margarita mix instead. The toddler ended up in the hospital. The restaurant is paying all of the medical bills and I guess giving them some free meals too.
I personally think that margarita and apple juice looks completely different (and I have had a lot of margaritas in my time). Heck, they smell quite a bit different.
What would you do if this was your kid?
Preschool Screening
We went to Madison’s preschool screening today. It went well. I really did not plan on sending her to preschool this fall, but I wanted to make sure that she was where she needs to be developmentally. We also learned some thing we need to work on.
First, the kid cannot catch. I did not know this. I guess Bill knew this. So we will need to work on this. She also cannot hop on one foot or skip.
Next, she does not hold a pencil correctly. I did not know this either. However, I know why this is an issue for her. I am right handed. Bill is left handed. See the problem?
She knew the majority of her body parts. The ones she didn’t know were like heel and forehead. Not ones you work on everyday.
She did know her name and that she was a girl. She also knew she was 3. Thank goodness they did not ask where she lives. Her answer to that question is “the beach”. Let me tell you, Chicago is no beach. LOL
She got all of the color except for grey. However, when they asked her to point to something grey she did.
She knew all her shapes. She was also able to take blocks and build them in the patterns they wanted her too.
She didn’t know what she was suppose to do if she broke something. Surprisingly, at home, she knows. LOL She did know if it was dark that you turned the light on.
They also did a hearing test that she passed.
That’s all I can remember right now, but like I said, it went well. I am not too concerned about the things we have to work on.
Preschool Screening
Tomorrow is Madison’s preschool screening. I am nervous about it. I think she is on target developmentally. However, I am worried that she is not. I have no intention of sending her to preschool this fall, but this is the only way they screen them. Preschool is $200 a month, so I am only willing to pay for a year of it! If she does have any issues, we have a full year to work on them before I plan on sending her. I wish I could tell if her attention issues are really an issue or just normal for a very active 3 year old! I guess I will find out tomorrow.
