My 1st day

I don't know why but just spending a couple of hours with eight 2-yr-olds is exhausting! We're supposed to have 9 kids but one is on vacation this week. We can have up to 10 so we're lucky. Of course that spot can be filled at anytime.

Overall it was a pretty decent day. There were a couple of criers but they didn't cry non-stop, just sporadically, mostly at transition times. We did have one child take off running in the opposite direction when we were getting ready to go outside. He ran into the music room and went under a table. Silly kid, who doesn't want to go outside? Then there was also the incident of biting. And we have one that likes to hit and two others that love saying the word "no." Did I really just say that we had a decent day? For a first day that was pretty good but hopefully it gets better!

My kids (other than Zach) didn't have school today. Megan and her friend Martina came into work with me and wow, they were a huge help. We also get a third person (just happened to be the music teacher) for the first few weeks of school so we had 3 adults and 2 10-yr-olds to watch 8 kids. Megan and Martina helped entertain and distract them by playing with playdough, reading books to them and just generally playing with all the different toys in the room.
Two of the boys really liked them too! It was cute. I have no idea what Thursday is going to bring, Megan and Martina have to go to school! Can 3 adults handle 8 kids? :)
