Slightly larger pants with elastic waists are very easy to pull up apparently. <BR/>The downside is they don't always stay upComfyMom~Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645425225886356909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511121.post-47254226173497476582008-08-19T13:53:00.000-07:002008-08-19T13:53:00.000-07:00My baby is starting pre-school too and I'm freakin...My baby is starting pre-school too and I'm freaking out over it so I can totally relate. I've never sent a kid to pre-k. <B>I</B> was the pre-k teacher. The potty thing we have down-pat but he is such a quirky kid with odd little habits and an INTENSE personality. Most of my anxieties seem to be centered on how the teachers will handle that. <BR/><BR/>But I'm sure they'll both do just fine and we're all worrying about NOTHING. right???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511121.post-84050246179583409172008-08-18T23:33:00.000-07:002008-08-18T23:33:00.000-07:00You will see she will do great.

Stay a little bit and then leave, NO matter What. Call and check in on her. They will understand! She will make friends. She will have fun. It will be harder on you, I promiseDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374193360770747417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511121.post-42546477903796816892008-08-18T20:50:00.000-07:002008-08-18T20:50:00.000-07:00Why are these easier to pull up than normal pants?...Why are these easier to pull up than normal pants? Are they the same as some fat grown women wear??<BR/><BR/>BTW, as a guy I think these are the most hideous things a grown woman can wear. Grosssssssss! Can you say "not with a ten foot poll". Talk about what not to wear. Jeans aren't much better. Buy a dress!<BR/> <BR/>The teacher probably does not wipe for fear of molestation accusations. This day and age I'd never touch a kid anywhere.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057344152659585957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511121.post-16796700461223234972008-08-18T16:14:00.000-07:002008-08-18T16:14:00.000-07:00She will do just fine.

There will be other kids that aren't full on potty trained yet as well and I have never seen kids point and laugh in a mocking manner. She will not have an Ugly Betty moment and be scarred forever. But do stop pulling up for her so she does it on her own (I am also guilty of doing it myself because it is faster than waiting eons for the kid). We didn't wipe either for them but it's so they learn to do it on their own. Some parents would be upset when they came home with skid marks but eventually they learned to wipe themselves thoroughly which is the whole point of being self sufficient. Stretch pants are a great idea. <BR/><BR/>She will do great and she will be liked....I mean, who would not dig a kid that calls herself Sunblock Ocho?About Me:https://www.blogger.com/profile/07451013889802508056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511121.post-20218224954056148962008-08-18T14:50:00.000-07:002008-08-18T14:50:00.000-07:00At our school, we only wipe them up when they have...At our school, we only wipe them up when they have an accident, other than that, it is up to them. Also, coming out of the bathroom with her pants down? Not a big deal at all. Most kids are too busy playing to notice, and the teacher in the class will probably be right on top of her to usher her back into the bathroom. In the four years I have been doing this, I have only seen kids pointing and laughing once, maybe twice.<BR/>That was a good idea with the stretch pants. We actually suggest easy-on, easy off clothing in our parent manual.<BR/>She is going to do great!

Her freaking out on you is better than her freaking out in school.<BR/><BR/>And stretchy pants are totally awesome. Stir up pants with legwarmers, doubly so.Mr Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998773078408832376noreply@blogger.com
