on a high

im really kinikilig! not because of chris, but because of the 8 cutest kids (at least after kylie) in the world! yesterday started out like a normal school day - 2 and 3-year olds fighting over toys that they seldom clean up. The difference was, a teacher was applying for a job in our school. and to test her classroom management, she was asked to teach my kids, who all have strong personalities, if you know what i mean.

so after circle time, i told the children that another teacher prepared games for them and that i have to stay inside our office. almost everyone said "no!" i didn't expect them to have any complains. but they did, and they weren't going to take it sitting down, literally! i eventually had to leave and heard them saying, "don't go, teacher karen!" it really broke my heart!

all throughout the lesson time, i hid inside the office. every 5 minutes, someone would bang the door of our office and shout, "teacher, karen!" it was so endearing! after all the games, 8 kids came knocking on the office door shouting, "we're finished, teacher karen!" one of them even told me, "don't go there in the office anymore!"

ahhhh...it really feels nice when someone notices that your not around. :)
