Blegh.
I'm very sad. The daycare where I work at is going to close very soon because they don't have enough money. It's actually a daycare at a church, and we haven't even had enough to make payroll; it's falling back on the church. (Which is their fault anyway because they knew it was in trouble and said keep it open.)
I don't want to find another one to work at... I don't like the idea of having new kids. I want my kids. I've had them for nine months and it's taken a long time to find out how to deal with each one of them, what works for one isn't right for another... I'm going to miss them so much. I can actually say with total honesty that I love my job. And what are the odds of finding another place where I like all but one person that works there? We have so much fun and the boss doesn't care when the workers are standing around playing frisbee with tupperware lids while the kids are throwing paper plates, lol. And even outside of my class, I've been in all of the classes except for the nursery so I know all the kids pretty well. But my threes in particular I will miss... I had them in the twos and I moved up in the new class when they moved up.
It really sucks that the place has been there for 15+ years and now it'll be closing. I'm really nervous about finding somewhere else because it takes me forever and a day to get comfortable somewhere. It's been since December and I've just now been feeling really like I belong. I absolutely hate going someplace new.
Emily... is a major brat and she whines all the time and throws these little crying fits. But she says things like "I let go my balloon and it went to heaven" and she actually pays attention to the songs we listen to and asks for " want sunny day rainy day".
Nathan... is by far the wildest child I have ever met in my entire life. Jumping off tables, throwing the chairs, dumping out all the toys, kicking someone... it's always something. The boy is so incredibly hyper. But so cute (Isn't that how the terrible ones are?!) and all boy... and he gets so excited over everything.
Austin... was so shy and I didn't think he was ever going to talk to me. Now he likes to yell at me and then pretend like he didn't do it until he stands across the room, yells that he loves me, and runs away... always sleeps with his Lucky dog at naptime, and has the most adorable smile. Sometimes it's bad because when I get onto him and he smiles, I almost can't help myself.
Briley... was the shyest kid I'd ever seen and wouldn't even let me leave the room for the longest time and never said a word. Now she still follows me around everywhere, but she talks and laughs and it's been so good for her. I love the way she tiptoes with all the caution in the world after the floors been mopped, and she has the prettiest blue eyes.
Corbin... is strange. Lol. I love how his hair is really soft and it makes me think of a baby duck (I know, that's a weird thing to say.) He has an infatuation with skittles and I finally got him to quit saying 'pow' and trying to shoot people with toys. He was a total follower and inseperable from Austin but now he'll go on his own.
Olivia... is the prissiest, most pretentious three year old ever. Her dad's a preacher and I don't think she's been disciplined a day in her life. I have no idea what they're going to do when she gets older. When she gets made she just stands absolutely still, holds her body where you can't move it, and screams at the top of her lungs. She always wants a ponytail and she does things like try to put lipstick on her dog and she loves to play at the park.
Cole... is my new kid of about three weeks and is so cute. He's always singing songs that I wouldn't think a three year old would know and the very first day after he'd been there for not even a half hour he said he loved me, and one day he said he was going to be like me when he grew up. (Which for his sake I hope not, lol, but that's very flattering all the same.)
Dylan... is my youngest and won't be three until January. He used to not talk at all because he couldn't hardly hear, but since then he's had tubes in his ears and now he's starting to talk more and actually show a personality- which they say he's a handful at home but until recently he's been a little angel. But I'm glad he's starting to be more of himself; whatever that may mean. I've yet to hear a full sentence from him, and sometimes when he's talking it takes me a minute to realize it's him.
I just hope that maybe I'll have left behind a little something in each of them...maybe done something that will impact (ah, hopefully in a good way! Haha) how they are in their life.. and I'm going to miss them more than I ever thought. This isn't a job I ever thought I'd be doing but going to be really hard to let go of them.
