the joys of nursery

So I have been in the nursery in our ward now for over a year and I must say it has its ups and downs. Today was probably one of the most interesting times in nursery to date. Let me also remind you we go to church from 11-2 and we are watching these kids during what should be NAP TIME!

Anyways, aside from all the screaming, running around, and toy stealing we get from the usual kids, today we had a first. One of the little girls, who is usually very good, at the very end of nursery comes over and stands in the middle of the room. She then announces to us "teacher I have to go potty now" and two seconds later before we could even react held up her dress and peed all over the floor. Usually she says she has to go and then we quickly run her to the restroom because she is potty trained. For some reason though today she was too interested in play time to let us know soon enough about needing to go

However, despite what others might say about being in nursery I actually enjoy it a lot. Today was also a very rewarding day when one of the little kids comes up to me and tells me "your my favorite" and then gives me a big hug. It makes me feel accomplished and like I am making at least some small little difference in this child's life.
