I had just returned to sit at a table with a couple kids when I hear the one little guy pipe up. "Imagine we had NO teachers!!!...(short pause)...We could do whatever we wanted!!!".

A group of four boys playing with some trains and Lego. One four year old shouts "Who just farted??". The other three say "not me!". Then the first boy giggles a little and shouts "I DID IT!!!".
Boys will be boys.

While exploring the woods and a swap like area with the kids. Suddenly my coworker shouts!! SHARK!!! All the kids scream...and the kid to scream the loudest was the one with the shark hoodie on. I know that was a mean trick to play...but it was soooo incredibly funny to see the look on that boys face.

While sitting down beside a 2 year old little girl. I watched as she admired the jar that held a few live crickets (she was looking at one in particular). She soon turned to me with a bright smile on her face and with a little giggle and said "They are soooo cute and cuddly!!!". Now a cricket is not usually the first thing I think about as "cute and cuddly" but is was cute to see/ hear her thoughts on these critters.

Mother's Day Edition!!

So I put together a fun little gift for Mother's Day for all the daycare moms...with the kids help of course!! So it was a picture frame made of Popsicle sticks (with bright colored thread wrapped around the four corners). The kids colored them beautifully. Next I put up the letters on the wall "I Love You Mom Because". I then asked them what they loved about their mom and then wrote it on a small chalk board. I then got the child to stand beside the words on the wall while holding the chalk board.
Now these are some things that they came up with.

I Love You Mom Because:

~You make Crepes

~ You turn the TV on and give me fruit snacks

~ You take me on walks

~ You give great hugs

~ You play with me and give great hugs

~ You play with me

~ You always say I love you

~ You give great hugs

~You make my favorite food

~ I love you all the time

~ You give me stickers

Now these kids are all from the ages of 3-5 year old.
