Hey guys,
So, my first day back home, I went to go hang out with some four-year-olds. No joke. That's ACTUALLY what I did! And you know what? I enjoyed it! I'm not ashamed to admit that! Ever since I was little, I have loved little kids, I was that girl who would ask her Mom if she could start a babysitting business at 10 years old. Also, at our church, you have to be 12 to be able to work with the kids without parental supervision, do you know what I did the morning of my 12th birthday? I sat down with the early childhood coordinator, and I got on that schedule! Yeah, that's how much I love kids! Anyways, Friday morning, I was SOO excited, because I got to go back and see the little kids I used to babysit for a Mom's group that meets at the church on Fridays. It was such a good start to my weekend, to be able to jump back in with kids that I knew, and Mom's that I knew, for me, the innocence of a child at any age is both heartwarming and humbling at the same time. Watching one kid come to help another up after they've fallen, that is purely that child's personality, and their heart. There is no one pressuring them to help their friends, or to ask those hard and unanswerable questions, it is just who that child is! Isn't that cool??...Maybe it's just me, but I LOVE seeing these seeds of passion and personality start to grow in any kids, especially toddlers. Working with 2 year olds for almost 7 years, I have learned, there is no telling WHAT the child will do. I have had children that are quiet and shy, but very logical and smart while they sit putting their puzzle together, and I have had children that are loud and passionate and spunky even at two years old(EDEN.BELFORD!!!). It is so fun to watch these children grow and begin to interact with each other, even from the time they enter my classroom as new walkers, to the time they leave at almost 3 years old. I have seen many kids really grow and prosper while they're in my class, and it just makes me smile like no other.
<3 Always,
Rose
