what kinds of things do i do here? i play tag, i dig for buried treasure, i explore the jungle, i create art, i watch, i listen, i work hard and i laugh.today (a saturday) i spent six hours here. i spent a little time with this guy:
(he is a madagascar hissing cockroach - and yes, he really does hiss)
and i made sure these two were fed:
(mr. furret. yes, that is his real name)
(licorice)
this is the child development lab. this week, i will be the head teacher. scary? not so much. hard? not so much. time consuming? extremely. exhausting? completely.
today was the first of my prep days. nate built an awesome igloo (i'll post a picture once it is complete) and i gathered and sorted and prepared.
it may not look like much now, but add tables full of open ended activities and 20 spirited 4 and 5 year olds, and the place gets pretty wild!
it has been a very stressful semester. my schedule has been crazy and nate has been working like a dog to pick up my slack around the house (for which i am extremely grateful). although it has been crazy, i really do enjoy my time in the lab! the children are adorable and it is fun to be able to interact with them on a daily basis!
so, if you're wondering where i've been or how come i never seem to be around, it is because i've taken up a new semi-permanent residence. if you'd check in on my husband for me from time to time, i'd be grateful ;)
