Why I Like To Work With Kids

Special moments working with kids this week:

• One little boy ran and jumped in my lap to sit with me during circle time. What is that wetness I feel? Oh..... great.

• As we were pretending to wash ourselves for gross motor and sensory integration practice, one boy in the class reminded me that we forgot to wash our wieners. I now know who the cleanest kid in that class is!

• One girl wiped her nose on my pants, but tried to do it in secret. When I called her out, she laughed and laughed that I had figured out what she was doing.

• As I was working with a three-year-old girl with spina bifida on pushing up the stairs, she decided she wanted to use my stomach as a place to push. She told me that my tummy was "big."

These are just a few samples of the funny moments in my days, and they are the moments that really keep me going at work.

Sorry I don't have pictures of any of these things- pee, wieners, boogers, or my fat tummy. Next post maybe...
