Gary Lezak meets Mother Nature going commando

Today at work we had two guest speakers. It is hard enough for little kids to sit through one speaker, but we had TWO. First Gary Lezak for the NBC station came to talk to the kids about weather. It was much better than I remembered from a few years ago. Before he was so sweaty, and talked to fast and technical that he lost the kids within three minutes. This year he was more engaging, and he brought his dog Windy to do tricks. The kids seemed to like him and I saw everyone on the news tonight at 5 and 6. Then two hours later all of the pre-k classes went to watch "Mother Nature" She comes every year to the center, and tells stories with puppets. I think she sucks big time but the kids were laughing. The problem is she is like 85 years old and is trying to be hip with stories about recycling and being a good friend but I think most of the time she forgets the story line, and is making stuff up as she goes along. It really shows, crazy old kook. We were then supposed to have swimming but it was raining, and so we played in the room and had a long nap time. We had to wake the kids up early for Shabbat and a birthday party. By the end of the day I was so tired, but I get worn out even when we don't do anything. I love it though, they make me laugh everyday.

I had a little girl today who had a small accident in her underwear. No big deal it happens all the time. Well when it was time to change from her bathing suit into her clothes she complained that she had no clean underwear. I couldn't find anything for her in her cubbie but a pair of shorts. She was wearing a dress so I told her she would have to go commando under her dress or wear the shorts underneath. She of course chose the shorts but about a minute later was wailing and carrying on. When Jo my teaching partner went to comfort her all we could hear her crying was "I DON'T WANT TO GO COMMANDO." I laughed so hard. She later got over it, and was fine the rest of the day. Kids can be so funny, and sweet when they want to be. It was a long day, but totally worthwhile.
