4 x 5

This week there were five, yes, five four-year-olds in Rainbow 2. There were definitely times I felt like I was trying to run a preschool, + the technical difficulties surrounding small children and IV poles... Let's just say I have no desire to be a preschool teacher.

Not to say that it wasn't rewarding in any way, because it was. But, trying to occupy and meet the demands of that many little kids is really, really hard. Some may say that the "terrible two's" is the hardest age, but I would have to disagree. There is something about four that makes the kids have a very "I do myself" kind of attitude. In addition, and quite to my dismay, they all seemed quite excited by scissors. Now I know why they make safety scissors. For example, upon seeing a package of play-dough that was taped shut, one of the four-year olds I was with insisted on opening the package herself, with scissors. *stab, stab, stab* It was kind of scary, to be honest.

  1. Very funny! And I'm sure the hospital was happy to have your help and I'm sure the kids loved having you there with them.
