I just dropped Playette off for her first day in the "Pre-Toddler" room at daycare. It's been a long time coming. First, I delayed the move because of her limited mobility. Then, the daycare did because they were planning to open a spanking new room. So we waited, and waited, and waited. Until today.
I just left my baby in utter chaos and with a woman, her new primary caregiver, who refuses to call her anything but "Maya" for some reason.
Yes, I keep correcting her.
And, yes, it makes me more and more angry each time.
This last time? Her response was, "Well, that's an unusual name."
Me: "We like it.
Think good thoughts.
Think good thoughts.
Think good thoughts.
Think good thoughts.
Think good thoughts.
Think good thoughts.
Think good thoughts.

Ahhhh craziness. Praying hard her first day goes well... for both of you!
"That's an unusual name?" Uh, not really, lady. And even if it is, that's no excuse to mispronounce it time and time again. It's called respect, you know?
She sounds like a complete fool. Hopefully she'll get over it. I'm sure things are going swimmingly, right?
Great news... persistence paid off. It will def be great. I'm still struggling to have them move Stormie to the 2yo class.
An unusual name? Um, no. It's a beautiful name!
Hang in there!
Breathe!!! Chaos is a part of growing up. Malea will be fine. Just imagine how organized this will feel when you drop her off for her first day of Kindergarten.
And where does this lady live under a rock? Has she heard of Malia OBAMA??
Oh boy - I hope that it went well for her. I remember going through a somewhat similar situation with my son.
What a moron - so her philosophy is to substitute one random M name for another? I hadn't heard the name before Playette was born, but it's not that hard to guess how to pronounce, and as Peaches said, after the recent political season, who could have not heard the name?!?
i wonder what she would say about malea's soul sister #1 - talia...and what would she call her :)...
i picked up cj the other day there were 2 new after school teacher; the room was a hot mes - toys and books everywhere, those 5 kids sounded like fans in a stadium and 3 kids were fighting in the back with the teacher commenting to tthe wrong child about his behavior...
my own son was putting toys behind bookshelves and would run around cracking up - for what appearerd to be no reason...chaos is all realtive :)
ahhh! I hate that anxious feeling! Hope it endede up going well and that dang teacher learns her name!
