I work on Mon & Wed, and I really like it. One thing that really surprised me is how NICE everyone is. I work with about 20 girls so you would imagine there would be gossip, fights, drama, etc. But there ISN'T!!! Everyone is really nice. The two teachers that I share a room/class with are super nice and we get along great. Maybe it helps that I only work 2 days, and not 4 like everyone else. The kids were crazy the first few weeks, but now things are calming down and it is much better. The first day trying to get 13 toddlers (age 18 months) to all go to sleep at the same time in the same room was nearly impossible. The crying! But, they have gotten into a routine now and it is much better. I love the 'special needs' girl that I work with. She is such a sweet heart. It is hard seeing how frustrated she gets when she can't do the things that she wants to do, but I am figuring out ways to help her. It is hard to see her with her peers and see the difference in their abilities vs. hers. But, I think I have the best job in the whole place. Lots of times she just lays her blond head on my chest and we just rock, while I watch the other kids creating chaos around me. Ha! I love that little girl.
the first picture is some sort of pumpking-squash hybrid. The second and third picture are our family pumpkin that we carved using the pumpking carving kit my sister got us. It took a while, but it was fun and worth it.
