I had an awesome day! I wanted to share why:
1. I brought envelopes and made a mail box for Santa. My kids were all over it, "writing" letters to Santa and drawing him pictures. It was funny watching them figure out how to make a piece of paper fit into an envelope.
2. I have a bunch of old lids for the kids to sort. But instead of sorting, one kid pretended he was Santa and he needed medicine. (He noticed that some of the lids from prescription bottles were for medicine.) Later in the afternoon, the lids became coffee because I store them in a coffee container. When it was hot I pretended to spill it on myself and cried. So he made me warm coffee and cold coffee to make me happy instead of sad. And whenever I "cried" the other children would come over and give me a hug.
3. We drew with sidewalk chalk outside today. One of the kids kept asking for me to draw him some hearts. He was very possessive of the hearts and wouldn't let anyone step on them. He danced around them singing "Heartsy, heartsy, heartsy..." Then he bent down and gave the hearts "loves" by rubbing his face on them. He ended up with chalk on his face without noticing. It was quite adorable.
4. A potential parent for the SAC program came in and thought I was a child. She, my boss, and I had a good laugh about it.
