Yes, I am a writer at heart but the preschool job is fun and it pays the bills.So, what did I do? I started working with seven-year-olds. Not bad. Then, they moved me to the guppy class. Yea, I work with two-year-olds. One day, they all climbed onto the sink in our room and flooded our floor.Yesterday, one kid stole a cheerio and threw it into the fish tank. He wanted to see if the fish would eat it, of course. He didn’t, of course. So the kid scooped it out of the water and-this is so gross-he ate it! Last week, one little boy decided to get into diaper rash cream.

Picture a little dark-skinned boy with a white diaper cream beard! Luckily, he didn’t eat too much of it and he is fine now, I’m happy to say. And then I wonder why I’m tired? A couple days ago, I sat down on a pillow to rest and three toddlers ran and jumped on me, one little girl almost poked my eye out! “Mine” is a common word used in the toddler room. Often I will see a little girl pull another child’s hair and scream “Mine.” Believe me, it’s not the most effective way to get what you want. It just causes problems and it drives your teachers crazy! Anyway, just be prepared if you ever decide to work in the toddler class at a preschool!
