No words

I'm normally someone who could talk and talk and talk. Figured I'd have plenty to say on a blog. Funny though, I have no words. LOL

In my daycare, I care for infants up to school age. I normally get children when they are only about 6 weeks old and then they leave when they start kindergarten. Last week one of those children left to start school. To watch them grow up, see them make each milestone, see their personalities develop and then to see them go . . . .no words can describe how that feels.

When a child comes up to you, gives you a bear hug and say "I love you." - no words can describe how that feels.

To have a baby look at you with his whole face smiling and giggles - no words can describe how awesome that is.

To hear a baby give a "belly" laugh for the first time . . . .

To see a child accommplish a new milestone and see the expression on their face . . . .

To watch the face of a one year old that gets the nerve to stick their whole hand in the fingerpaint . . . .

To look at a precious baby sleeping so peacefully . . . .

I do what I do cause I love children. I do what I do cause I marvel at the precious blessings God has given us. Being a mother and a child care provider aren't always the easiest jobs. They are not considered glamorous jobs. They are often not appreciated enough. But the blessings that I receive each day - no matter how big or how small - well. . . . there are no words to adequately describe it.

A beginning

Not sure if I can really call myself "tech" smart, but thot I'd try my hand at a blog - for my licensed home daycare anyway. Maybe I'll do a personal one later. As it's "just the beginning" not real sure what all I will post here, but it will normally be childcare related. Something that perhaps my daycare parents as well as other childcare providers can benefit from. Any suggestions?
