On my way to work, I got a message from Misty saying: "Change of plans. You need to go into the baby room until noon, then go with Miss Paula with the 3&4 year olds until we come back." This also made me super excited cuz then I was going to be with the wittle babys for a while. =]
I clocked in and made my way to the baby room, there was 5 babies in there; 4 boys and 1 girl. It was almost their lunch time and we ended up playing for about 20 more minutes. One of the other workers started to get each baby and change them before they ate, while another worker put their food out on the table, and I watched the other ones. Finally we got all the babies changed and put them in their seats to eat their lunch. 3 of the babies ate well, not a peep out of them, while the other 2 were hysterically crying and throwing a fit. It was horrible, I hate seeing babies upset and crying. It was getting close to their nap time as well, so they were extra cranky.
We cleaned up the babies and gave them a bottle and put them in their cribs. The 2 boys who were throwing a fit while eating, were also throwing a fit while they were in their crib. I was 11:50 and Miss Paula called down to tell me to come up. So I made my way up to the 3 & 4 year old room.
I went upstairs and entered the room, and the kids were just put down for a nap. I waved to Miss Paula, and put my purse down in the kitchen. She told me to help rub the kids' backs to help them go to sleep. After we finished and got the kids to sleep, she let me go and grab something to eat while they were napping. Once again, I snuck out of the room, and walked outside. I walked to my car and grabbed my pop; that I left in there by accident this morning; and grabbed a smoke. I was only gone for about 7 minutes, but it was nice to be outside and have a smoke after the craziness from this morning.
I came back into the 3 & 4 room, and sat with Miss Paula. The kids' nap time is from 11:30-1:30/2 so we took the opportunity to get to know each other and talk about what she does in her room. It was nice having quiet time for once, and just really getting to sit down and relax for a while.
After their nap time, the kids were allowed to play lightly before it was snack time. The kids got a little rough and loud but all in all it was good. We had the kids sit at the table, while Miss Paula and I got their snack together and ready. Snack time went well, could've been better but it was alright.
The kids went and played again while we cleaned the table and ran the sweeper, then I was called to go back downstairs with my normal set of kids. As I came down Miss Gina already had the kids sitting in their seats, waiting to get their snacks. Miss Gina talked to the kids before giving their snacks out. Basically she told all the children that they are to listen to me from now on, because of the mishap yesterday with no one listening to me.
After snack time was cleaned up and the kids were playing again, Gina left me. Misty was back in the building because she had an interview. Misty came back in and told me that Miss Clorissa would be working with me until 6 on Monday-Wednesday-and Fridays, and Tuesdays and Thursdays she would be here as well. Misty wants another worker with me at night time, just so I could have the extra hand if needed. I was able to talk to her for a while, and let her know what goes on and how things sort of work around here, didn't get into too much detail because it was getting hectic in the room.
When Clorissa left, it was just me and 13 kids, which wasn't bad because they were actually listening. At one point I had a kid run out of the room and go upstairs with his Mom, the same kid came back into the room and was playing with cardboard boxes. I told him to not play with them because he could get someone hurt. Within the minutes I told him that I had 3 parents coming in to get their kid, and they were all looking for their water bottles and shirts they made earlier; and the kid hits a little girl in the mouth with the boxes. I heard the kids yell "Teacher, teacher!" I turned around and grabbed her, and when I looked at her, her mouth was bleeding, like all over her face. I told the kid to go sit on the chair, told the parents I would be right back, and went and got Becca. She helped cleaned her up and gave her a popsicle, I came back into the room and told the little boy who hit her "This is why I told you not to play with the boxes." He threw a fit and told me he told her he was sorry, but I told him he has to sit for his punishment. Meanwhile, one of the parents left and told another parent they would get their stuff on Monday, and I was trying to find everyones stuff. I couldn't find their tshirts they made so I told them on Monday to get them.
Then I had to fill out an accident report. Scary. I finally filled it all out and made everyone clean up, because they tore the place to pieces. I told them I would be watching to see who was doing the best, and they would get a surprise. Well low and behold I had like 3 to 4 other children come in the room and it wasn't fair to not give them the same thing so I had everyone sit down. As I gave them their pixi sticks I had them sit at the table to eat them.
Such a hectic day, but way better than yesterday. TGIF!!!!
Happy Blogging =]
