I'm not

perfect...

I turned 19 on the 19th. It hasn't made that much of a difference in my life *shrugs*. I am absolutely loving school and work. I can't help but love learning all about children and then getting the opportunity to put to practice what I learned when I go to work. The toddlers are adorable in my classroom.

Paige is the oldest--she turned two recently, but she hasn't been moved up because she's so small and they're worried she'd get hurt with the older kids. She just beams whenever I come into the room and my heart melts.

Rylee is next. It can be a constant struggle with her. She is a very strong-willed little girl! Naptime was a struggle for awhile. But she is incredibly loving and always wants to run over and give hugs.

Er, I don't have time for all thirteen of them and I don't know the three newest ones very well, yet. They just moved up from the 12-18 month room. Anyway, I'm learning lots at school and I'm getting to do lots of observing.

I've gotten through the first cluster of tests already. I have another one on Monday, but I'm not worried. I'm constantly on the go between school and work and church. Well, I go on Sunday mornings (to Sunday School and church), I try to go to The River on Tuesday nights, but I haven't been able to in awhile. On Wednesday nights I help with the 2's and 3's at church and on Sundays I'm going to start going to small groups. That should be fun. I'll get to meet new people :)

Oh, and I kinda fixed my page so there aren't x's on the page. I just don't have time to fix it much. Weather's been crazy around here. All wet. I had to trudge through a river of water to get to class one day! That was an interesting experience I certainly do not want to repeat!

Enough rambling. I'll write when I can and hope it makes more sense next time!
