EYES WIDE OPEN IN A CITY ASLEEP

Extra doodles!!

was it real?

hot

bruce wayne: bruce please stop trying to reorganize the cubbies you can't read the labels yet. would only play with one specific toy from the toy chest but could only use it after putting on a specific cape from the dress up corner. hoarded the magnetiles but only built straight up. very good at not losing his water bottle, however he does always hide his shoes so that he won't be forced to wear them. socks must remain firmly on his feet.

dick grayson: dick please stop jumping off the swings we aren't in ratio right now and i am so scared of a surprise inspection from the state. yes, i saw you run so fast. no, please do not do it again its nap time and the youtube lullaby is about to time out. screams and cries every time he sees a bug but continues to run over every time a kid goes "look! a bug!" very good at entertaining the other kids but unfortunately he is entertaining them when lunch is served and we are not allowed to go over the scheduled time PLEASE eat your government mandated mac and cheese.

jason todd: i can see the book stuffed under your shirt jason you know those are supposed to stay in the reading corner. he refuses to sit anywhere other than next to me or the other teacher. sometimes hisses at other kids but its miraculously only when the other kid is more in the wrong than he is. big fan of the flinstone cars and will cry when its someone elses turn to drive the red one. he doesn't get into fights because he bit a kid once and was not a fan of how everyone got very loud very fast

tim drake: tim i understand that you want to play with my phone but unfortunately if you lock me out by stealing it and getting my password wrong again i will have to put myself in the calm down corner. tries to dig through my personal belongings out of pure curiosity. asks weirdly invasive questions about my love life despite being three years old. will only nap if i am rubbing his back as he falls asleep and will wake up the minute i stop. talks extremely well with adults but just stares wide eyed at other kids when they ask to play. gags when other kids try to not wash their hands after potty time and i have to pretend like thats not really fucking funny

stephanie brown: stephanie i know you want to play with them but they are currently screaming and crying because they found a grasshopper in their shoe so lets maybe take a step back ok? big fan of wearing a tiara and a spiderman mask just whenever she feels like it. weirdly good at walking in disney princess heels. hangs upside down on the monkey bars and laughs until she falls as i try to get her down. can and will climb any adult in the room while asking for piggy back rides. devours every snack in an astonishing amount of time while also complaining about said snack. is the reason we are not allowed to play uno anymore because she makes up rules and it makes the other kids infuriated

duke thomas: duke i do care about the woodchip that got into the holes of your batman crocs but i did also remove that woodchip over two hours ago, it can't hurt you anymore. weirdly good at fingerpainting. asks to wash his hands every five minutes just because he thinks the water feels cool. "um, actually"s the other kids but only when they talk about his favorite tv show and nothing else. he is always correct. always calls dibs on dimming the lights for nap time and i have to remind him to grab the stepstool before he tries to do it through a series of ineffective jumps.

cassandra cain: cass i appreciate that you want to win hide and seek but this is considered eloping and requires me to both call the police and get reamed by my boss so please don't do that again. climbs into places i didn't know it was possible to get into. favorite toy is a ballerina doll that she puts on a tech deck. asks to have her hair braided in the calm half hour before parent pickup because it relaxes her. good with other kids but she has to be the one to approach first or else she just glares. loves the random dance videos that we put on from youtube when we just need to get their energy out.
