I have a 2.5yr old DCB that has for the past couple of weeks started to reach into his diaper and explore. Everytime I have seen him do this, I guide him to the bathroom to wash his hands. I've caught him doing this several times a day...each time..remind him that we don't do this at daycare. I had a meeting with DCM and told her that this is happening several times a day and that each time he is disrupting the curriculum or group activity so that I may take him to wash his hands.
Her response..."yeah, he does it all the time at home, on the couch, while watching TV, whilst being read to...I was going to ask you if he does it here?" Um...YES and it's getting to be a big habit.

I told her that starting Monday he will need to arrive at daycare in a onesie. She just asked if she could bring extra wipes for his hands!! I told her that toddlers and touching their bums and genitals is a great recipe for e-coli outbreak or at the very least...a gastro outbreak within my daycare and my own family and that she should consider doing this at home as well! Not to mention the ick factor. Everyone kid here puts something or other in their mouth. Really...don't think they need your son's bum sweat all over the toys!!

Well...today comes and DCD pleads that he could not find any onesies for a 2.5 yr old. Really?? Cause I have a 2 yr old that wears size 3 or 4 and he's ALWAYS in a onesie.

If he starts digging again then they are getting a phone call for a pick up
