True Love

 There is a boy and a girl in one of my classes who are in love with each other. Everyday, they play together. He is always saying "I love you" to her. They sit together during circle time, holding hands. It's very cute, and very funny! Well, the other day, while I was conducting circle time, he was being very disruptive, talking to his "love". I finally had enough, so I told him to move to another spot on the rug, away from her. He did so reluctantly, but as soon as he sat down, he burst into sobs. He may have been upset because he got in trouble, but my first thought was he was crying because he was forced to leave the girl. And I thought to myself...

Now that's true love!

I just wanted to share this funny story with you. I hope it made you smile like it made me smile!

NAEYC in Anaheim

Last week I went to the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Conference with my work. It was in Anaheim, so of course it was a good time! It was really funny because on the first day at the airport, one of the older ladies I work with was soooo excited and was going on about how it felt like we were going to girls camp. We all laughed and thought it was so funny. Well, as the days went on, I began to realize... it really was like girls camp. At first I didn't really want to go. I didn't really know anyone that was going all too well. I was not really too excited. But, then I began to find my place in the group, and found a few girls that I got along with really well. Also... having a curfew when we went to the beach so we could get a ride to the hotel felt a little "girls camp-y". Anyway, I ended up having a really good time! Here are a few pictures...

The second night there, we walked to Downtown Disney. We met this random musician who happened to also have a children's c.d. that we were excited about

 (because we're teachers... :))

The next night, we went to the beach. We found some mini palm trees, and of course, had to have a picture with it!

Yum :)

You can't tell, but we are on the beach...

We went to Disneyland the last night. This is the Haunted Mansion, and during the holidays, they have it decorated for The Nightmare Before Christmas!
