Working hard feeding the babies |
The three year olds were having lunch, only five of them, three were out sick and Miss C asked me to play a game with the Kiddos who had finished eating and cleaned up their places. I took out my
Finders Keepers which has a game board made like a big puzzle covered with pictures. The kids helped me set up. I gave each of the kids a token to put on the item I showed them on a card. First one to put their token on the board got to keep the card. We were having a pretty good time when one of the kids who was still eating barfed all over the lunch table and himself so Miss C left me in charge! As they got used to playing one of the kids would yell "Nooooooo!" if someone else beat him to the picture. It cracked me up. And my laughing was contagious so all of the kids were laughing too. Finally we finished the game and Miss C returned after cleaning up the sicky and then she cleaned the floor etc. As I was leaving to come home she got a text message from the teacher next door who wanted to know if she was killing someone! Oh my gosh! Between the kid yelling "Noooooo!" and me laughing so hard the sound must have gotten through the cinder block walls. C was dying laughing as I left. In addition when it was time to bring the kids to choir one of them stated she hated choir so I spoke with her about how we all have to do some things even if we don't want to because it's our job blah, blah, blah. After Choir the music teacher exclaimed what great singers all of the 3 year old were (3 classes of them.) I said to C she would have to praise them because they were so good and sang so well after my little tête à tête with the kiddo. She was pleased too. As we were returning to the room the music teacher was behind us and Miss C asked her how her own class had behaved - music teacher explained that they had been terrible until she split them up among the other kids then they sang their hearts out while our worst offender was in time out but singing sitting under the piano. Miss C looked at me and laughed saying it's a good thing she hadn't praised them - Miss Irène failed the test! Last one about school today. Yesterday one of the little blond girls whined about being on the hot playground and wanted to go back to class so Miss C asked the other kids if they were ready to go back inside - one sturdy blond boy said "No!" he wanted to play in the playground. The little blond girl walked up to him and punched him in the nose! Yikes!
Okay. That's it for today. I'm writing on my brand spanking new iPad! Hip! Hip! I ordered it a week ago tomorrow and it came direct to me from China. They started selling them at 8:01 California time last Friday and I snagged one. But that's another funny story.
