Poopy is doing all the normal stuff hun. He doesnt have the language to tell his friends he is excited to see them and really enjoys their company. WIll does the same thing. We use the word "gentle" all the time and guide his hand to our face softly or to another childs face or body. Are the kids at day care younger than him or the same age? We have a lot of soft toys at home and try to encourage WIll to give them *hugs* and kisses maybe something else for Lakshman to hug onto.
The throwing is also normal too but not what you really want is it. A firm UH UH and show him how to roll them on the floor or stack the blocks instead. Its a hard one becasue WIll like to throw his balls to which really is what they are meant for arent they.
We found WIll was slapping our faces in excitment and we were always touching his hands and moving it away now just give a really sad face and say Poor mummy poor daddy and shake our heads it really affects him and his face gets sad. The tone and body language can help with the behaviour greatly.
It really is all very normal stuff though hun
It sounds like he really loves being with his friends at care though and its all very exciting
