The laughter of a child can fill your soul, as the love of a child fills your heart.

Even having pneumonia, having two bright, sweet, beautiful, ENERGETIC boys for the day, made it a wonderful, fun day today that I desperately needed. Thank you so much Karen-and Jim for choosing me to care for these precious and amazing boys. I hope I give them the same care, love, and FUN, they give me. They told me first thing after getting here that they were going to take care of me today, they way I take care of them because I'm sick. Brennan even took out the play doctor/nurse bag and gave me a check up.

We watched two movies with snacks(not my norm as I limited my daycare to one hour of tv time and one hour kindle/DS time or just one whole movie) as I like to interact by arts and crafts, playing, reading a book to them or going to the park.) Ate lunch, free played, went to the park, painted rocks, played with the dress up box, then had only 15 minutes left before cleanup and pack up time I let them have kindle time with floppy socks (putting my knee high socks on their little legs...you get the idea) while I picked up the destruction of my studio. They usually do clean up with me but they were so quite that I let them be, but told them they owe me BIG TIME, lol then at 4 we got together the toys they brought, their kindles ready, floppy socks off, socks and shoes on, sweat coats on and they were ready....Dad comes and pandemonium! Why, I have no idea, it was all set to go...oh well everything made it out the door ok.

I may be a nurse, an artist, a writer, jewelry designer, singer, musician, lay Lama, with 4 college degrees but still love taking care of children, they give so much back. I ran a certified daycare for years until my kids both hit school and I hit college, I loved it then (but not the very little money $2 an hour per child) and I love it now ( and the pay is better but unimportant). I also love those little boys like nephews. I still am close with most of my former daycare kids all grown up, 6 here on Facebook and I still love them all. Hmmm I think I just wrote my blog here on Facebook. Well when the writing bug bites...That's what copy and paste is for!! Lol  and so here is said paste!
