When Ryan was only a few months old, his teacher at daycare told me that several of the teachers referred to him as "Boss Man." Apparently he liked to yell out orders and instructions at everyone (of course no one knew what he was saying!). Someone gave him the nickname and it stuck. I used to carry him out and teachers I didn't even know would say "Bye Boss Man!"
I hadn't heard him called Boss Man in quite awhile, so I thought maybe he had toned down the bossiness. Last week when I picked him up, one of the teachers said "There is he, Mayor Ryan!" I asked her what she meant and she proceeded to tell me that his new nickname is Mayor Ryan because he thinks he is in charge. He tells the teachers and the other kids what to do (and apparently they listen to him!) When they pull the buggy into the classroom to cart all the kids around, Ryan says "Ryan walks!" because he would rather walk than ride in the buggy. When it is circle time, he tells everyone it is circle time. She said "One of these days, we are just going to let him lead us in Circle Time!"
My little dictator!
