I'm in a sentimental mood, and even though I have had a challenging two days with my short people, I really do LOVE my job and LOVE these little people.
DCB #1 is SO SMART! He is 2 and sounding out letters, speaking complete sentences and can have unlimited conversation turns. He has beautiful blue eyes and the whitest hair I have ever seen. He is also so calm, laid back and quiet that you would forget he was here most days if it wasn't for his maniacal laugh! (which is heard often!)
DCB #2 is 3 1/2 and pretty behind in some areas but is making leaps and bounds of progress. I was just telling/showing dcm his progress report from August-now is SOOOO many gains, in motor skills, verbal skills, and even academics! He is the SWEETEST child I have ever met, and is STILL a sympathy cry-er. Although he rarely cries for himself, he will burst in to tears if someone else is hurt. He has HUGE brown eyes, very long lashes and dark dark brown curls that almost look professionally styled.
DCB #3 is just a nut. He is 2 and just starting to put 2-3 words together and the way he says my name is HYSTERICAL. He is the mischievious little one of the group and cannot be trusted alone for a second. He is the clown, the social butterfly, the guy who stuck carrot sticks up his nose and continued to eat at lunch. He is a favorite of my kids because he is SO FUNNY it's hard to resist him! We are always saying "Don't ENCOURAGE HIM!" He has gorgeous auburn hair and green eyes, and is TINY for his age. He has the funniest 'chuckle' laugh.
DCB #4 is 2. Long blonde surfer curls that he blows or flips out of his face and does all.day.long. He has HUGE blue eyes and ridiculously long eyelashes. He is a tall guy, and soooo chatty. He has been speaking constantly since he was born (baby talk was constant, never stopped babbling) He is obsessed with trains, the leader of my group, strong willed, independent to a fault (NO, I DO IT MISS ***!) and a fidgety, happy guy with a contagious giggle.
DCG #1 is 3, sooooo smart, but painfully shy and reserved. She is timid and quiet unless she is with someone she absolutely knows and trusts and then the floodgates open. Girly to the extreme ("Oh no my nail polish is CHIPPED!") but she LOVES to play trucks and in the dirt, although she would never admit this to her Mom, I have photo evidence and she STILL denies it!
She is beautiful with her dirty blonde stick straight baby fine hair that I can't do anything with and her hazel eyes. She is also inrecidbly gentle, kind, and I swear I have never, ever, ever had to correct her behavior. EVER, in a YEAR.
DCG #2 is 2. She is almost bald still so we got her cute little headbands with bows so everyone would stop calling her a boy, since she HATES pink, purple, flowers, you name it. She LOVES frogs though! She even picked one up, put it in her pocket and wanted to keep it this summer. I call her my second in command as she is a complete mother hen. "I help you fwiend!" and always telling me what she thinks I should be doing. The way she phrases it is so cute, and not in the least bossy. "Almost nack time? I hewp you wif all dem plates now?" "No you det blue one for him, he like blue." hahaha. LOVE IT.
So, this is what has helped me get through 3o minute 'it's nap time, lay down' routine today and reminded me why I do actually like this job. How about your cuties?
