"Look! Teacher is happy!" one of my students exclaimed as he smiled and pointed at me. I was happy today! It was hard not to be! Things at work couldn't have gone better! We had no major attitude issues, the class was calm (well...as calm as a room full of 2-3 year old kids can be), we got to take the kids on a nature walk that they seemed to fully enjoy, and I was given a fantastic compliment by my lead teacher! She said that she is really thankful for having me there and that she has been so impressed with my work! She said I have picked things up really well and that I have great instincts for working with children! I HAVE GREAT INSTINCTS!!! =D OMG I actually have good instincts with children!?! As soon as she said that, my heart skipped a beat! This whole time I have been worrying about whether or not I have good instincts with children and here, the lead teacher, a mom and a Montessori teacher for years told me I have good instincts for working with children! It made my day! Heck! It made my week! I might actually do alright with being a mom myself!
On a different note, one funny thing about today was, the snack for the children was applesauce. Well, we didn't have any bowls or spoons so we had to serve the applesauce in little Dixie cups for them to sip at. Consequently, all throughout the day, I kept finding kids walking around with applesauce on their noses! They kept unknowingly dipping their little noses in the sauce as they tried to drink it from the cups! It was the funniest and cutest thing! I kept giggling and saying "oops! You have sauce on your nose!" Although, it wasn't as cute when I later had to clean up the splotches of applesauce all on the sides of the table, on the floor, and all around the serving bowl. Applesauce...everywhere!
So there you go! It turns out I'm good with children. I'm doing well with my job. And applesauce is a fun but horribly messy snack!
I've got applesauce on the nose and Pickle on the brain.
