Two Ladies and No Baby: The Babies

The Babies

I've been thinking lately. I mean really, really thinking. I've been trying to focus on the good things in life these days. Life is so full of crazy ups and downs, and the last seven months have been the 'downest' of my life. I know our blog is usually a bunch of funny, stupid nonsense, but I'm going to switch things up a bit. So back to the good things in life, I'm going to focus on four little souls that make my life 1,000 times better, and pull me out of the darkness when I need it most. Here are a few things that the babies do to make my life better.

Henry, Noah, Ruby & Crew. Even when they're completely out of control and screaming, they still make me smile.

When Henry somehow gets Becca to let us color all over her face. (Fulfilling a life-long dream)

When Noah looks at me with those big brown eyes.

When Ruby isn't totally stone-faced for a picture with the girls.

When just looking at this boy reminds me that there's still innocence in the world.

When Noah is so excited for Santa to come he can hardly control himself.

And finally, when there is a little boy to hold my hand when I need it the most.

Thank you babies, for making me smile when nothing else can. I love you, Hen, Noah, Ruby, and Crew.

Kidz are the Shiz Carner!

Almost in tears 7 year old boy. "Teacher this morning my brother called me a lesbian. And I'm not."

Just after leaning over a 7 year old girl. "Mmmm your hair smells good Miss. C. what do you use? Garnier?"

8 year old boy stays after school to ask. "So....where do you sign up to be a teacher?"

Playing Simon says I tell the kids to put up their two pointer fingers. Boy in the back row instantly puts up both middle fingers and waits innocently for the next command! Note to self...teach kids what pointer fingers are.

I had just asked a couple kids on the way out what they thought the weather would be tomorrow. One boy was talking about what the weather man said and I said, "I don't know how much the weather man knows." A little girl stayed after class and said, "Teacher I know who knows everything about the weather, Heavenly Father and Jesus." Holla Mormons.

We were talking about voting and the elections this past week and I asked my students if they knew who the President was a few knew it was Bush. Then I asked if anyone knew who was President before Bush one kid raised his hand and said confidently "Abraham Lincoln."

A girl in my class read her journal aloud today. It was all about what her Thanksgiving is going to consist of. At the end she said, "P.S. I'm a veggiterian (veggi-ter-ian)." So naturally I asked if she was going to have turkey she replied with, "Oh yes, I am but just because it's Thanksgiving." She's very passionate about her veggiterianism.

A boy came up to me the other day and said, "Teacher my sister has such bad karma, but I always have good karma." (hello, he's 7 how does he know what karma means?)

Today one of my little ladies came up to me and gave me a hug, then she said, "Teacher you are so skinny, my Mom talks about it all the time!" What the....kids will tell you anything, it's awesome, no filter!

A little girl slapping her butt as she's walking down the hall says, "hey Miss C. look, I have a badonkadonk!" I laughed out loud.

I pulled a little girl out in the hall to talk to her about being a good friend. She says, "I'm trying but it's just so hard."

I had them write about love, these are the two best ones:

"Love is like a smoothy, at first you think I really like this and then you think, what have I gotten myself into."

"When you kiss someone, you just do whatever they do."

"Teacher do you believe in the Easter bunny?" I've never seen him, but I believe in him. "Really teacher? I think in college they should teach you that the Easter bunny is NOT real."

Little boy came up to me in the middle of class to report this piece of info. "Teacher did you know that I ate all of my fresh vegetables?"

"Teacher what's our time limit in the bathroom because when I'm going number 1 and 2 it takes me a long time."
