this summer i had the opportunity to work at a daycare center.
most people get a summer job working as a lifeguard at the nearby pool. a nanny getting paid to watch 1-2 kids and enjoying the luxury of raiding the pantry. or possibly working at the local pizza restaurant as a waiter.
i worked all summer with about sixteen 2-year olds all day.
and i loved it.
these kids all have a special place in my heart. i'm not saying this job was easy at all, because it wasn't. but was it worth it? most definitely. i know i was the teacher for these kids, but they're the ones that really taught me this summer. they taught me to be fearless. to love. to forgive quickly. to smile at the little things. to run around the room acting like a dinosaur and it being perfectly okay. (it's okay to do that outside of the daycare center right?)
not a day went by this summer where these kids couldn't make me smile. even on some of the worst days of my life, they still managed to make them a little better. and because of that i am forever grateful to these darling kiddies.
i love you guys.
i miss you already.
oh and one more thing, don't think that i'm ready to have kids now by any means... this job was by far the best birth control anyone could ask for haha. but when the time is ready, i feel more confident that i won't fail as a mom. love you guys forever.
