The kids at preschool never cease to amaze me. It makes me so happy when I reach out to that one kid, the one who never talks to anyone, and always seems unhappy, and he opens up to me. Out on the playground today I decided to try to play with little C, the youngest and most introverted boy at school. He was very shy at first, but in no time at all, we were giggling and running around. He even talked to me a little bit. I felt so accomplished.
As soon as I sat back down into my chair, the troublemaker of the group, A, somehow managed to smash his forehead into a plastic table. (Maybe "smashed" is too harsh of a word, maybe "bumped".) I immediately jumped up and picked him up. He just sat in my lap as I comforted him and got him to stop crying. He was a little angel for the rest of the afternoon.
When I got home I discovered a Valentine from little Ry, a girl in my mom's class, addressed to me. I was soo happy. Ry never really talks, but she obviously noticed me. YAY for little kids. I L-O-V-E my internship!
