New Jobs

While Mike is busy studying and becoming a chiropractor, I have found two jobs and I love both of them. Both of them involve me taking care of children but they are very different.

My first job when I moved here was to take care of an adorable little two year old girl named Abby. Her mom drops her off at my apartment in the morning and she stays with me til around lunch time. We have a lot of fun playing with trains, reading books, going to the park, playing tetris (which really means that Abby takes the pieces and makes designs with them) and lots of other fun activities.

One little story about Abby is that she loves Mike. Everyday she asks to see my phone and look at the picture of mike in the silly hat (its his graduation picture in his cap and gown). Then she scrolls through the pictures for a few minutes. She goes to the window when she arrives and looks for our car. If its their then she announces to me that Mike rode his bike to school and if its not that he took the car. She usually asks me when Mike will be home throughout the day. I think its so sweet how much she likes him and its sweet to see how excited she gets when we call him at school or when she sees pictures of him.

One day while she was looking at the silly hat picture I went to the closet and got the silly hat. She was very excited to wear it and have her picture taken. While we were at it I went and got some of my other sillier hats and we took some pictures in those too. Enjoy!!

My second job is an afternoon job as a preschool teacher. I don't have too much to say about it yet since I had my first day yesterday and it was a lot of just learning the ropes and observing. Right now its just 2 days a week until October then it'll hopefully be 5 days a week. Fingers crossed! Either way I'm spending my afternoons with adorable little kids and its a good mix of instruction and playing. I also get to teach social skills and manners which is a nice mix.

Both of these jobs are wonderful and fit my personality perfectly! One day in the future I may want my own classroom but right now I'm perfectly happy with preschool age children and watching Abby. Hopefully this second job works out well but the first day was great so all signs point to a good job. So right now all is well in Boiling Springs!
