The things kids do...

You may want to bypass this first paragraph because it's going to be all about me missing Jeremy. haha! I love Jeremy with all of my heart.  He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  I seriously do not know what I'd do without him.  I'm incredibly emotional.  I think about how much I miss him and I get all teary eyed.  I would say this is ridiculous, but the truth is when you love someone as much as I love him, it makes sense to be so crazy emotional about it all. I even wrote us a song for this entire experience.  I'm a smitten kitten, for sure! I get to see him this weekend and I absolutely can not wait!  

Ok, now I'll get to the real reason you guys are reading this, my internship! This week involved more observations.  However, I'm hanging out with all the kids that I get to work with for the next 7 months.  I love them all!  I saw high school kiddos yesterday and I fell in absolute love with one class.  They are seniors and clearly the coolest kids around.  A couple of them told me that I was "perfect" and I could do nothing but laugh.  They are going to be so much fun! 

Today, I hung out with all the elementary kids! Oh my goodness. Let me stick them in my pocket again please!  I have the cutest down syndrome kindergartner!  He is one of those that he is so cute you don't want to enforce the rules because all you want to do is hug him!  He pulled his chair and plopped it almost right on top of mine.  I knew at that point I was cool enough for him.  I saw a couple of other kids that are going to be fun and super challenging.   Warning: this next story may gross you out so skip the next few sentences if you have a weak tummy.  I went to a low functioning kindergarten class and this little boy gave a whole new meaning to picking your nose.  This kid straight up stuck his tongue all up in his nose!  The teachers were talking about it and I just thought hum, no way.  Then he did it in front of me and I didn't know if I was supposed to be grossed out or calling America's Got Talent? haha Maybe America's Funniest Home Videos would be a better choice.  

In an older elementary group, there was an AU girl and she was a big girl.  Not fat, just big.  I was trying to talk to her and this other boy.  Well, I must have done something she didn't like because her hands went straight around my throat.  I started feeling pressure and somehow or another I was able to get her hands off of my neck and keep the peace with her and everyone around me. I learned something at Queens working with my on campus client after all!  

I absolutely love what I do.  I'm so thankful God placed me in this internship.  It is going to be an awesome journey!
