To some this might be a stupid post, but to me these kids from working at the high school daycare mean everything to me. They have taught me so much more than I have ever taught them. I will always treasure so many of the connections I’ve made with the kids and the memories of them will really be loved. So since I’m feeling nostalgic, I’ll share some of my favorite memories of the school year. (Whenever I talk about the kids I’ll have to just use initials in order to maintain their privacy.)
First up is when O said my name for the first time. She was just sitting at the table eating, I was working in another group and suddenly I hear my name being yelled. I thought it was another child since O had never said my name before, but when I looked up she just yelled my name again. Just over and over. I was so excited that she said my name without my prompting I honestly cried. I spent my birthday at the daycare since Tyler was working. It was honestly the best. Having all the kids give me hugs and sing to me really made it special. This school year was also exciting because I got to meet so many new babies. At the start of the year we had five new babies. It has been such an amazing thing to watch them grow so much throughout the year. When I got my first gecko back in January, I starting thinking about bringing him to work to let the kids see. Well I brought a couple throughout the year and the kids love them! My favorite memory is having E just fall in love with the geckos. Nearly everyday she would ask me to see pictures/videos of the geckos. She loved holding them when I brought them in. I love that I have exposed the kids to an animal they normally wouldn’t be exposed to. I also really really love that E fell in love with the geckos just like me. I also want to remember all the super “Fun Fridays” I’ve had. We try to make Friday a special day of the week and every Friday this year I got to be acting manager. I really loved it because I was able to bend a few of the rules and really make the Fridays as fun as possible. Working at the high school was such an amazing experience and I am so thankful for it. I am leaving a chunk of my heart behind with those kids. Thank you to them for an amazing year.
