a few things.

In regards to my last post: I realized that my day off is coming a week from tomorrow.  That is the day my family and I are going to see The Phantom of the Opera!  I'm so excited!

In regards to the last couple of days: I've spent them subbing in Pre-K, and I'm going back tomorrow afternoon, too.  It's amazing how tiring it can be!  Here's just a few gems from my days there.  If anything good happens tomorrow, I'll let you know...

There is one particular boy in the class that has been diagnosed with autism.  Sweet kid, but definitely difficult at times.  He hates to go to the bathroom so he won't ever tell anyone when he needs to go.  We were outside playing and I see the universal sign for needing to go to the bathroom. You know, the slight hunch, legs together tightly.  The other teacher saw him first (thank goodness) and took him back to the class to use the restroom.  She was gone for longer than expected, but I didn't really think much of it.  She comes back and tells me that I was lucky because the boy had pooped his pants sometime earlier and it was smeared all over to the point where he needed her help to get cleaned up.  If you know me at all, you know I don't like those things.  I probably would have puked on the poor kid. 

There's another little boy in the class named Sebastien.  He is hilarious.  He has a dry sense of humor, enunciates his words almost to a fault, knows just the right buttons to push on his classmates, and acts older than his 4 years sometimes.  Anyway, yesterday we were out playing and he looked up and saw a few clouds.  Not rain clouds, just clouds.  He pulls his hood up, looks over at me, and says with a shrug "Just in case it rains."  He has had some great one-liners...I'll try to remember some more tomorrow.
