Breakfast With Rylie

Even though I am off work today, I decided to get up at my normal time and get showered, dressed, etc. and take the kids to school. I usually just hang out in my PJs and let Brian take them. But Rylie likes it when I sit with her while she eats breakfast, and I wanted to do that today.

I'm always afraid that when I sit down in those tiny little chairs that it will either fall apart underneath me, or I won't be able to get back up! Luckily there were no embarrassing accidents of the sort.

So as I was sitting there I was thinking that there is no way I could ever work in a daycare. Those teachers deserve a medal sometimes! Kids were running all around and the noise was just a little more than I could handle, especially since I hadn't had my fill of coffee yet. Some of them were crying because their parents left, some were tattling on others that hit them, and then there were the three sitting with me that I had to tickle the whole time. That was actually pretty fun. Well, until they started telling me to tickle their teachers. I figured that might be a little awkward (you think?) so I had to try to explain that the tickle monster only likes little kids. But just sitting there for 15 minutes made me appreciate those ladies that work there even more. I am so thankful to have such wonderful people taking care of my kids all day!

Rylie's class is having their Valentine's Day party today. I signed up for chips because cookies and cupcakes were already taken, and who wants to bring healthy stuff like fruit to a party? ;-) Little did I know that two other parents signed up for chips after me, so there are enough bags of Cheetos there to last for the rest of the year. Next time I'm signing up for the fruit. We took Valentine's Day cards to exchange with her friends. I just find that so funny and can picture the two year olds passing out their cards. When I pick Rylie up tonight I'm sure she'll be on quite the sugar high. At least it is Friday!
