Adults get boo boos too!

September 21, 2010

Went to work this morning and ended up getting to be in the preschool room from 8:30 until my break at noon because Ashley had training to do and had to take a test. That being said, my morning was so much fun because I actually got to be in a room where the kids can vocalize their needs and actually listen (most of the time) to what you are saying. However, there is some drama going on with one of our new kids, which involves his claiming that he was bit on his elbow and ear although there are no marks to prove it. This is the same kid whose mom comes in everyday at lunch because he cries for her and then sits there and spoon feeds her 4 year old son. Ridiculous!

I then took the kids outside and, pushing kids on the swings, Erin was walking by on the bike path, pulling two kids in the wagon. With her back to the path, she ended up tripping over a kid on a bike who was in front of her on the path and fell on her butt. At first, she started laughing and then she started crying. I rushed right over, lifted up the back of her shirt like she was a little kid to check for scrapes, but I think her butt took the majority of the force. OUCH! The kids did learn that adults get boo boos too and need hugs too though. 

I then went on my lunch break and Erin and I checked our mail... Neither of us had any, but I have three packages on the way, so I'm just waiting for some love from home! Ahhhh! After the post office, we walked over to the Outdoor Rec center to our buddy, Nigel, and put our names down for the horseback riding trip in Wales in October. SO excited! After that, we went to the coffee shop for internet and, both needing caffeine and being close to our periods, ordered a pop and a candy bar. ha ha We're allowed to splurge every once in awhile. :)

Then, in the afternoon, I went back into the toddler room and then went over to give Tasha her break. In the fifteen minutes I was gone, Jailyn managed to lose total control over the kids, which left the room in shambles for me to clean up when I got back. This is getting really frustrating!

After work, I had internet with the boy and then came home and had Mac and Cheese for dinner with leftover hamburger, watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother and worked on our music video for the boys before I wrote Darrick a letter and finally fell asleep. 

Things I learned today:

1. Adults need hugs too when they get hurt!

2. Sallie does healing on top of teaching, MFLAC and speaking a multitude of languages. What doesn't that woman do?
