hotch potch reflections on my day

Looking at the children I work with inspires me to have many deep thoughts (as well as many laughs) and at the time I always think 'I should write something about that on my blog' but as the day progresses the profoundness of my mind fades and instead becomes filled with innovative ideas for what to do with a certain 'cutie' who should really be given his own T.V. show teaching other toddlers how to be a 'terrible Two"! Seriously, the kid should write a book, he redefines the term terrible two's, he has taken the art of it to a whole new level and I am starting to realise that he is on a mission to teach the other 15 children in Pre2 his ways.

Ok maybe I am exaggerating but not much! I can in all honesty say that I do love this kid. He has SO much character and such personality I can't help but really love him. Also, even if I am VERY 'not happy' with him, all he has to do is give me a big hug and say "sorry M-Amie" and I'm a sucker. I think it's because he says it so cute and also because my niece Megan called me M-Amie for years before she called me Auntie Amie so I kinda have a soft spot for that. The other thing he does is I'll say "look at me" when I am telling him he has done something wrong with me and he'll look at me, and then smile, and look at my eyes and then say "M-Amie, you've got me on your eyes, my in your eyes!" because he can see his reflection and I just think that's really cute too.

Today I made white choc chip and cranberry cookies with them. When they started they asked "we making bic, bic, bic's Amie?" (they call biscuits bic, bic, bic's) and I said "yes we're making choc chip cookies" so soon they were all saying 'cookies' and talking about making the cookies, rolling the cookies, baking them, eating them. When it came to eating them I made the hot chocolate too because we were talking about Winter and our favourite winter foods. They had been so excited for 'cookies' and I guess I never realised they wouldn't know what cookies were. They seems kind of disappointed when the greatly anticipated 'cookies' did infact turn out to be 'bic bic bic's'

The cookies and hot chocolate were perfect to come into after playing out in the hurricane weather. We had wind speeds of 70-100mph today. We didn't stay out long. They are so little, half of them were hanging on to my coat. A couple of them got knocked over by the wind. One threw a ball and it blew back in his face. We didn't stay out long.
