gala_applesoh, and on an entirely different note, today at work was awesome. we've had really low turnout the last two weeks, and yesterday we had like 12 kids (of the normal 32), and neither of the administrators bothered to come. the appointed other person in charge decided most of the people didn't have to come in. i only had to work 2-6. that's not the best part.
when i got there, there were only eight kids. brother and sister set a, brother sister sister set b, and three miscellanious children. there were five staff (mind you two were special needs staff, but we only had one special needs child, so i'm counting them). essentially we got to play one on one, instead of patrolling for issues. that's not the best part either.
i was assigned to the gym, where like 5 of the 8 kids decided to play. one girl was really missing her mom, and i know she loves songs, so i started singing and got out the instruments. she joined in and stopped crying. that's still not the best part.
the best part... when i started taking requests (spiderman and batman and jingle bells) and asking them to sing their own songs (batman, abc's) riley burst in with WE WILL ROCK YOU!
now, obviously i can't show favourites. but riley has always been a favourite of mine, and seriously, you're three and you're into Queen? SO MUCH LOVE FOR THAT BOY. i was so impressed i started to sing the other lyrics, and he came over and grabbed the wooden guitar and pretended to play and OMG I LOVE MY JOB SOMETIMES.
