So I guess since the daily reports from the daycare for the past week have been along the lines of "the children are so excited for Valentine's Day!" and "we talked about love a lot today, and they can't wait for Valentine's Day!" and then today all parents received "Class lists for Valentine's Day", I suppose that means we're supposed to make special treats/cards/presents for our classmates? At two years old?
I can't believe this is starting already. I guess I'll be stopping by the Dollar Store for her twelve classmates.
There are 54 children at her new daycare. Erika's old daycare had 15.
I liked looking at the sibling names. Siblings at this daycare include:
- Jordan and Jaiden (twins)
- Theo and Hugo (British friends of Erika's)
- Isla and Loch (Erika's best friend and her younger brother, only half-British)
- Teagan and Gage (Erika's friend and his younger brother)
- Taylor and Davis
- Colin and Cate (twins)
- Anthony and Liliana
- Landon and Olivia
- Irena and Marishka
This new generation of names are so hip and foreign to my liking: Ryder, Rusty, Anderson, Reed, Tyghe, Keya, Kaleb, Jaelyn, Coltan, Arden, and Braddock, are another 11 students at her daycare.
The traditional names were few and to be expected, boys: Michael, Luke, and Ryan. No "classic/traditional " female names aside from Alexandra and Evangeline. Other girls at school are: Layla, Ali, Maya, Lexie, Riley, Madelyn, Addison, Kayla, and Sofia. Then there is Erika, who is neither here nor there.
I also just realized Erika has a disproportionate number of British friends. I mean, not like their ethnically British, the way Americans refer to themselves as Irish even though they don't know a lick of Irish history and I'd be surprised if they could point to it on a map but their great-great-great-great-grandparents were from Ireland. But in a "still hold a British passport" type of British. There's Alice (who started pre-K and isn't at daycare anymore), Theo, and Isla, who are all British (but no connection to one another other than they all attend the same daycare... not like they knew each other previously at some sort of Britain-Castoffs-Anonymous), and then Teagan, Tyler, and Evan. Which makes a full half of her friends are British. And it isn't like this small clam-digging shore town is a hub for British immigrants, I don't get it.
