first day at the nursery!

Today was my first day of volunteering at the nursery and I really loved it! I worked in the one year old room and it was VERY hectic to say the least. 8 one-year-olds + 3 adults = chaos. Hahaha. BUT it felt so comfortable being surrounded by a thousand rambunctious kids I really was enjoying myself. I worked 4 hours (8am-12pm). At 1130 the tot's go down for their naps so I ventured over to the other side of the room and held Logan, a six-month-old smiling, chubby little one who I held for the last half hour I was there. So darling! I didn't want to put him down (totally helped my desperate baby fix, it was getting really bad!!) One-year-olds are so great because they're not quite at the easily embarrassed stage yet so even if they have never seen you before, after 10 minutes they are crawling on you and pulling your hair. Bradley was this adorable boy who was quite the rebel who sometimes bites the others and tries to eat rocks when we go play outside. Sheleah (pronounced Shy-LEE) was another one of my favorites with pig-tails and the cutest giggle. Oh my goodness. The women who worked there are all really nice, and surprised with how well I interacted with the kids. I guess their used to volunteers who just sit there for community service hours. I know I'll look forward to going there each day and I can't way to get attached to the little munchkins :) :) and hey, its something to put on the resumé, yeah?
