I'm pretty sure Tyler is already on Carina's parents radar for when she gets older. He just catches a glimpse of them, or Carina, or her sister walking by his classroom and he's screaming her name. This is getting a little embarrassing for me. But the funniest thing is when we see her family outside of daycare, Tyler doesn't even acknowledge her, which makes me feel a little better. Still, his behavior would be deemed inappropriate if he were older and wiser. Yesterday's report from daycare said "Tyler spent lots of time playing outside. He got to talk to Carina through the fence. This made him happy." I bet. So I asked Ms. Jaclyn about this. She said Carina was calling out her friends names from the old classroom "Dylan, Tyler, Sami, Jaclyn" and the kids all ran over to the fence shouting her name back. After a few minutes, everyone went their separate ways, back to playing outside. Everyone except Tyler that is. Jaclyn said Tyler stood at the fence for over 20 minutes shouting Carina's name, waving frantically when she looked his way, and proudly telling his friends where she was (as if they didn't know). Poor Tyler. Life is just not the same without his little Carina. So, this morning her parents walked by the classroom and Tyler yelled Carina! So Mr. Carina stopped and popped his head in to say hi to Tyler. This was classic--the dad is already practicing protecting his popular daughter. Geez I hope he doesn't know about Tyler standing at the fence for 20 minutes yelling his daughter's name!
