I'm bringing Xanga back - drop a comment if you're with me!

So, it was an interesting day at the daycare today...

I was working with the afterschoolers, and Mrs. Patsy came in saying that Ms. Mary in the 2 y/o needed help b/c she had a sick kid..so I ran back there, and sure enough, poor little ole Mason had gotten sick everywhere.  Sooo...I sit with the kids while Ms. Mary gets the vacuum, and I eventually start cleaning up the whole mess.  Well, Mason still didn't feel too great, so I told him he could sit on my lap while I cleaned...and uh...while I'm vacuuming his previous "sickness", he gets sick again while he's on my lap, so I start to vacuum that up too.  lol  It was definitely interesting.  Poor kid...we couldn't find his change of clothes or anything.  I felt horrible for him.  I just put some overalls on him that we found that were like...two sizes too big...and rolled the legs up.  He looked adorable with no shirt on and those overalls.  My heart broke for him though...when I left for the 3 and 4 y/o, he was lying on his naptime mat waiting for his mommy to pick him up.  (Needless to say, I ran home before BCM so I could shower and not smell like throw up anymore...fun stuff, eh?)


Sooo...I went to the 3 and 4 y/o after I left there, and stayed in the 3 y/o classroom.  These kids, to say it nicely, have a LOT of energy.  lol  I love 'em to death, but they're just so crazy sometimes.  Well, I was reading them some books at one point, and I look over, and Madison is over in a corner doing something, so I call her over to see what was wrong.  She comes over, and I can tell that she has something in her mouth, so I ask what it is...and she locks her lips TIGHT, and then swallows.  I about had a whole heard of COWS!  I was like, "Mat-Mat!!!  WHAT did you swallow?!?!?!"  And she says something...I thought she said bug...but then I understand that she said block.  I was like, "".  She swallowed a LEGO BLOCK!!!  I was like, "What do I do?!  What do I do?!"  Half of me wanted to just laugh b/c it was a little humorous, but the other part wanted to reach down her throat and pull it out so her mommy wouldn't get mad.  lol  Sooo, I ended up writing an accident report about it (it was odd saying that the "accident" was a child swallowing a lego...but hey...whatever works, I reckon lol), and I told her mom when she came to get her.  I was like, "I didn't know if you'd want to take her to the doctor or whatever........but I'm sure it'll come out eventually."  lol  She was just like, " Why does she do this stuff?!"




...Ooooh, the joys of working at a daycare.  lol  God's really shown me lately why I work there.  It's all for the kids and their development.  I can't seem to get enough of kids...I just love them so incredibly much.
