Oh no!! I didn't even think of that with the kids using their parent's phones!! I'll have to watch that when my cousin's kid starts texting too!! Maybe I'll just tell her to get her own phone.

I’m sure he’s a pro!!
although they don’t strike me as the type who’d indulge their 5 year old with his own phone/tablet!__________________

My Grace has been clicking the few games I have on my phone for her for a year and she is 3 1/2
It is a huge problem for parents though....in many ways but just setting limits is brutal because as soon as they can think/reach out kids want that color flashing thing their parents are always either on or taking pix and vids of them on. It is a daily battle for Liz to keep them off those or the TV. She lets them but not nearly as much as they want. I think some kids are probably on for hours every day for sure. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that...at least with my own kids. Now I have to when I'm in charge try to set limits and if I don't I feel like a kid because I'll get in trouble too   __________________

My niece has a bunch of learning apps on her tablet and they really helped her. She plays a lot of non-educational games too. She's obsessed with Minecraft right now

She wanted to take a stuffed animal with her earlier and I told her it probably wouldn't be a good idea because it was raining and she said, "We're getting a lot of rain. That's quite worrisome."
 She'll say something that will blow my mind with how smart she is and then a few seconds later I'll have to tell her to stop picking her nose so it's a nice balance |

the best way to be!!! My kids in my class don't shut up. They don't really understand raising hands and taking turns yet, so they're all blabbing all over each other during circle time One kid says something and the rest all start with, 'Me too Miss....., I have etc etc.' Cute but it drives me crazy And the constant Why? Why? __________________

My brother lives for the "why" questions. He's ridiculously intelligent so he actually has answers and they will talk forever with him explaining why stuff is the way it is
Kids are cute but I'm not sure I'd be able to handle them in large groups |

Margarita loved the "worrisome" nose picking comment
she sounds way fun  Ekua Little ones are so wanting "teachers" attention which is very sweet but can get to be too much too! __________________
