Dear diary,
hey
Today was pretty tiring. It was just so fucking hot, and I cant concentrate. I woke up with my eyes
puffy and I just wanted to go and
die. It was horrible. I walked up to mom and said "Mom I dont want to go to work today" and she said "why not?" and so i replied "I just dont want to " and she was like "Well you have to go" and there was a long pause and I said "Mom, I dont want to go to work today".
That argument didnt get very far.
I arrived at work kinda late.
I really feel like im getting through to Jack. Hes taking a much greater intrest in reading and sitting still for long time periods :) He gave me a hug today. He seems much more mature for his age, and understands basic concepts much faster. After spending so much time with these kids, I dont really want to leave. At the same time, I never imagined how difficult it is to work in childcare. I think that this experiance just proved to me how much I
Could not ever, ever ,
Ever work in childcare. But it was fun. Oh so fun. I really want to see them when they'r older. Especially James and Jack, and lauren and Mary-anne. Whos going to be SO Hawt when they are older. I taught Todd to write oroperly today (he writes backwards- perfectly). I tried teaching Elliot, Jack, Todd and some other kids "Rock Paper Scissors". It was difficult at first because Jack
insisted that it should be "Rock paper scissirs Tree". For some reason. I was like "No Jacko :) there is NO tree"
and hes like b-b-b-b-but I want a tree.
Okay fine. we can have a tree.
It was crazy, but then i gradually weened them all out of choosing a tree.
And then they would all choose the same thing that I picked.
"Rock"
"Rock"
"rock"
"Rock"
Then they started understanding the concept a little better, and then waited till I chose, then chose the thing that would instantly destroy me (apart from a
tree which aparantly defeats them all).
And when they destroyed me, boy did they
love it. They would practically beat the shit out of my hand.
I havae bruises and scratches everywhere.
I think my pointy finger is broken.
ouch.
But it was a learning experiance.
Then we tried playing wink murder.
Failed.
I realised, that with little children, you have to
Show them how to do something as apposed to
Tell them. I spent about 10 minutes explaining the concept of the game. and they were nodding inteligently so i was like "my gosh i think they got it" but we started playing and. oh man.
The [
.Detective.] Walked in and [
.Murdered some one.] and was like "Umm I think you killed him"
and im like
"no hunny, you did" arhg lol.
So we played a little longer, and it was gradually coming to them, but we had to stop (milk time) but im sure that if we could continue they would have got it.
Then we tired I spy.
that was crazy.
Jack: I spy with my little eye something begiining with...um C!
me: ummm...give me a clue
jack: its what caterpillers turn into.
me: uh. butterfly?
jack: YES!
me: oh lol.
So the "Something begining with..." part doesnt actually mean anything whatsoever.
Drink time is fun :) I had a cup of juice.
I did a few paintings today but we didnt have any play dough out :(
Lauren, is so cute. i was watching her today.
She takes some paper, and draws like a line on it, and then asks me to fold it up and put it in an envelope. she then repetes this process 1235 times. lmfao. and then she walks around guarding her "invitations" with her life, in her little hands. She hands them to her mom at the end :)
James is pr0 at the construction kit. really - talented.
Mary-anne loves dressing up as a princess. she told me she loved me today.
They all ask me at the end of the day if ill be back tomomrrow.
that makes me feel good.
Charley, whos mentally disabled, but omg hes so cute.
hes going to be SO SO SO HOT when hes older.
a little stud.
I carried him today and he kissed me. and jsut hugged me for so long.
It was so special:)
Jack and I always read together every day for a long time. He wants to read the dinosour and the lamb book over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Analysing EACH lamb fur and EACH dinosour and all the different routes you could take to slide down the dinosours back. Its so tiring because we do that every day.
And then when its quiet time, its like a fucking stampede. they all uhuddle around my feet and hug me and pull me and jump on me and climb on to me for me to carry them and are like "PLEASE CAN MALLY COME AND SIT WITH US IN THE QUIET CORNER. MALLY SIT WITH ME, SIT WITH ME PLEASE"
its really sweet.
but. kinda. painfull. lol
Today I helped get their profiles and reports done :)
Its so nice to look through all their work and how they goot through this year.
Next year many of them are starting year one, real school.
Its going to be really differnt for them. I almost forgot how young you are as you get into year one. I hope theyr okay. IM SURE theyll do fine :) Im not sure how theyr gonna cope from making snad castles and drinking milky every hour to having to do math.
But Ionnu. Its just the kind of lifestyle changes that everybody has to go through. even when your much older. I think.
Tomorrow we're having a little party for those leaving.
We're having 40 kids in this little classroom.
and its going to be so fucking hot.
it should be interesting.
gaaah. I love this.
