Casper has now fully 'transitioned' to the Preschool 1 classroom at day care, which is a mix of older two-year-olds and younger 3s. She's handled the change okay; it helps some that her new teachers are very outgoing and demonstratively affectionate. We had some acting out at home - mr. flea had a rough time getting her going in the mornings - during the 2-week phase-in, but it seems better now.
One thing has me seriously going WTF, though: the little tiny kiddie toilets are equipped with the autoflush sensors that are the bane of my existence at work and increasingly throughout the universe. I get that they're useful for hygiene and maintenance purposes, especially in public places like libraries and airports. I get the hygiene is a concern in a day care classroom of 18 kids. But for kids who are potty-training or in the early phases of potty mastery, what could be more alarming than a potty that self-flushes unpredicatbly when you are sitting on it, and, as small children tend to do, wiggling around, or staying a long time?
Maybe I'm projecting. Casper doesn't seem too traumatized by the evil auto-flushing potty. But it just seems like a bad idea.
