Bird Whisperer, Taylor

Taylor is a bird lover, she is so awesome with them. They don't mess with her though, she means business:)

Chuck E Cheese

We got together with our lovely neighbors for some good ole Chuck E Cheese time. Not sure who had more fun, the kids or adults:)

Annie

Annie is like a toddler, she drives us crazy, makes us laugh and has tantrums. I absolutely love her, soon all the black on her head will be bright orange.

We include her whenever we can.

Daniel absolutely adores her, more than anything in the world. I think he likes her because she makes bad choices a lot and gets in trouble, lol

Famous

 

I may not have the best paying job in the world but I certainly have the best job!!

My world would be empty without the wonderful children I work with. My.Heart.Is.Happy

Surprise Lunch

I had the day off a few weeks ago, so what do I do? I hang out with my girls of course.

 

I surprised them at school for lunch, just the look on their faces made it all worth it.

Hailey has lunch at the same time and Tiana and she was so excited when she saw me.

Loving me life.

Work

How do I get so lucky? I absolutely love my job, I work with an amazing team of adults and a fabulous group of kiddos.

Never give Up

I have been working so hard with Hailey, she has struggled the last few years with holding her pencil. She just couldn't seem to hold it the correct way. The first picture is how she held her pencil for 2 years. Although she could write like this, she was very sloppy and I couldn't let her become an adult holding her pencil that way. So, one of the kids I work with holds his pencil the same way and I over her the Occupational Therapist, she told the teacher to have him hold his pencil like picture 2. This at least gets the fingers in a better position. Her writing got worse and she asked to go back:( I spoke with her teacher and I was about to just leave her alone as it was upsetting her. She had the OT come and look and Hailey write, she found that Hailey had very weak hand/finger muscles. She recommended some exercises with Thera Putty, I ordered it straight away and began. Seriously 2 weeks later she is holding her pencil correctly and not only that, she is comfortable, her writing has improved and she is so happy!
