Babies!

So I know I don't post very often, and I'm very sorry (especially to you uncle Scott) but I really haven't been doing anything recently except going to work. Right now I am working at a daycare/preschool. I spend most of my time with infants who are all under a year old. I LOVE THEM! They are sweet and cute and so fun! Over the last week I have been getting pictures of all of them because they are so darn cute that I had to share. But it took me several days because there were only certain times when my hands were free, and then not all of them would be awake so I finally got them all. So here is who I get to play with and I get to call it work.

Stella... She is our quiet cuddlier. She is starting to stand on her own now, it is so exciting! I love this picture... she had just finished eating so she has no shirt, but she looks so proud!


Zev... He is my special little buddy! He is totally wild and very spastic. He always makes me laugh!


Isabelle... She is the sweetest thing... very happy and loves to talk and stick out her tongue! She is an absolutely beautiful baby!


Max... He is a extremely funny baby... He is very laid back, he is usually content just to be and will smile at anyone who talks to him.


Lillian... She is another one of my favorites, She is very particular about lots of things. I couldn't get a good picture of it but she only has one dimple and I think it is the cutest thing the world!


Anne... She is our newest addition but not our youngest. She is a very easy going baby, most of the time she is just sleeping, but more than anything she just loves being talked to.


Hayden... She is our youngest baby but only by a few days. She was born premature so even though she is 3 months old, she only weighs about 12 pounds. She is tiny!


So that is what I do for work! I play with all of them! Starting next week I will be working in the one year old room, and that makes me a little sad, but I don't really have a choice in the matter!

Also for some extra money, on Monday I started tutoring two Korean children in English. They are both really sweet and very smart. There is a boy who is 12 and his sister who is 8. I am having some trouble with ideas of how to teach the girl because she doesn't speak any English... so we'll see how it goes.

This weekend I am going to Arkansas with the Bunraku Bay Puppet Troupe, so wish us luck on our performance!

Wow! I didn't know you were in a puppet troupe! That's really cool. Your pics are adorable, and it looks like you have a very entertaining job. Good luck this weekend, and have a great day!

You are going into teaching children right? Sounds to me like you have found your passion!

Sounds like a fun job - if they're all happy and content and fed and sporting dry diapers at the same time.

I did enjoy the photos and the personality rundowns of each.

Say "hello" to our puppet troupe friends.

Also, good luck on your tutoring. I chuckled at a couple of inadvertent typos when you were describing the job: " ... Monday I started tutoring two Korean children in Enlish. ... They is a boy who is 12 and his sister who is 8."

We enjoyed a few minutes of IM chats tonight with our family. Your summer plans sound fun!

Yeah Amanda, they are darling!! Guess what...I have decided not to retire this year and have started taking sign-ups for the next few years. I got scared of being poor! And I need money to travel to see my new grandbaby!!
I should have you take a picture of the puppet troupe for my photo scrapbook sometime...I missed out on doing that! Keep in touch!
word verification: "miquit"...that is what I said last year about teaching...then I changed my mind! :)
