Kids...they make you laugh!

I love kids. Babies, Toddlers, Preschoolers, Elementary age, Preteens. I love watching kids change and develop into their own person. I have the "privilege" of doing this at the place I work. I have worked at an Early Childhood center for over a year in a many of the rooms. Right now I am working with toddlers 18 months- 24ish months. Man are they a hand full but also so much fun. We have 11 little guys running around laughing, crying, talking, smiling, jumping, dancing and yeah know just bein' kids! I love reading to them and I try to bring in a new book from home everyday. Something that is their level but new and exciting for them to listen to. Today we read
"Polar Bear Polar Bear What Do you Hear?". That is a great book! The theme for the week is Zoo animals so I thought it tied in perfectly. The kids know their animals and the sounds they make surprisingly very well. The older ones also know their colors. Today the other teacher asked "What color is that ball" and the little girl said blue right on! And then to another boy she asked the same question and he said "green!" Smart little kiddos :) I love when I leave for the day and they all say "Bye Bye Kaywa!" It is so precious!

I am excited to be a teacher soon. Well...soon as in within the next three years! I cannot wait to have my own classroom with my own students. I am excited to put stickers on their homework
and teach them new things. Being a teacher is such an important job...but maybe I am just biased. I hope that I will be able to teach first, second or third grade.

Kids are fun no matter what the age. Even during a "difficult" day their smiles bring joy to me! My favorite little kiddo is my nephew Miles Ray. He is 9 months old and learning more and more things everyday. He started crawling forward last night. He had the backwards part down just fine. I love spending time with him and try to as much as possible. This picture was just a couple of weeks ago. I love the attitude in this photo. He was getting sleepy!

Well that's all for now! Take time to enjoy the children in your life!
