This morning when Mike dropped off Matthew at daycare, he had a "little talk" with our new daycare lady. He mentioned that Michelle was really gun ho about calling her to ask if she would take Dylan as a drop in every once in awhile...and he pretty much said that when Dylan gets together with Matthew that things change, and it isn't such a good change we like to see.
He asked her to please not feel obligated to watch him since she would most likely be saying that Matthew goes there, and she wants the boys to be together, blah blah blah..
So Kathy, (the new daycare gal) said it was a good thing Mike said something to her as she would most likely feel obligated to take him since she likes to take kids on a word of mouth basis, but she can see that we want Matthew to have his "own" place to go without having to worry about competition with his cousin every corner he turns.
Mike also mentioned how territorial Dylan can be..and yes, it could just be an age thing, or it could be that he gets away with murder at home too..and Kathy's eyes grew large and said we would have nothing to worry about. Let's hope she doesn't cave as Michelle can be very convincing.
I know it probably wasn't the right thing to do. But c'mon. Matthew needs his own place where he can make his own friends. He needs to learn how to play with other people and to learn responsibility from other adults. He doesn't need to be stressed 24/7 that his cousin is going to bombard him with picking on him, or stealing his toys..he just needs to be Matthew.
I have to admit I was pretty giddy to hear Mike talked to Kathy all on his own without me having to ask him to. He rocks.
