little treasures;

Today, I:
- Wiped 3284961377808369 snotty noses
- Was slapped in the face twice (by a 5 year old)
- Swept up a whole lot of glitter
- Stopped a child from eating white glue
- Sniffed out many dirty diapers
- Played peek-a-boo from under a blanket for about half an hour
- Learned speech therapy strategies, and some simple sign language
- Received lots of cuddles and heard lots of giggles
- Was reminded of all of the reasons that I love children, and all the things that I am excited about in the future

I love kids. I love how fulfilled I feel when I leave my incredible placement. Every Monday I get the chance to work with some of the most amazing little people in the world. They make me laugh, they challenge me, and inspire me and always make feel so blessed to have the passions and talents that God has given me. Each week I feel more confident in my abilities and more confident in the path that I'm on. I feel like every Monday has given me a small glimpse into what God has in store for my future. I am so, so grateful. It is an absolutely incredible place, and even the hardest days there, even the biggest challenges, fill me with such joy.

I love kids.
