I love my job being Owain's momma. I couldn't think of anything else I would rather do than watch my little man grow and learn.Before Owain was born my job was pretty similar. I worked in child care for fifteen years.watching,teaching,playing and loving other peoples children. I loved every minute of it.One of my favorite age groups to work with is two through five when there little big imaginations are in full swing and they say the funniest things and sometime be brutally honest.Through out my career I kept a journal and wrote down every clever thing they said. Here are some of my favorites.....
wavy blonde hair blue eyed four year old Marissa runs up to me in a panic "Amber,Amber we have to call my mom I left my brain at home!" She was dead series. I had to calm her and reassure her that her brain was still safely inside her cute little head.
Sweet little Emma 21/2 said "when I was a baby I was in my mom's tummy and I popped out of her butt!"
"Only grown ups can eat chocolate before bed time"
Caleb 4 yrs old.
"I always feel like I'm 41/2 even though I'm 5.I just don't feel like I am old."
