What made you laugh this week?

[Suegclarke]

Hi everyone This is my first post and what a great subject to start with. I guess working with children there is always a "what made me laugh" moment every day, but every now and then there is one that stands out. Im a room leader in a 2.5-3.7 room and the children have been interested in road safety. Wearing our seat belt has been a great discussion topic so the other day when I asked "what do we wear in the car that keeps us safe", one little boy yelled out " our dressing gown".

Yes that made my day!

And hopefully many more to come

Mom: "She’s a baby. All she does is sleep, eat, poop."
Little Boy: "Mommmm, that’s disgusting! Why does she eat poop?"

One of our room kids came up to me holding his head and said, “I have a headache. It’s a bad one. It’s pissin’ me off.” I had to turn my head real quick and laugh. He's 4.

Want to reopen this topic because we all need to smile and laugh at times...

I was putting Miss 3 to bed last night and as she was getting tucked in and this is what happened:

Me: It's late it's time to go to sleep
Maya: I want more milk
Me: You've been chit chatting for 20 minutes and now you want more milk!
Maya: Well I have my rights sir and I'm telling I'm going to have more and more and more milk because that's what I do!

How can I argue with that!! Mission success, Maya got her cup of milk and non stop laughing from me!

Twinkle Twinkle little star,
You should know what you are,

And once you know what you are,
Mental hospital is not so far.

Miss 3 turns on her yellow mobile and see the welcome screen.

Miss 3: What does it say?
Me: It says "Nokia"
Miss 3 starts knocking on the screen and I start laughing...
Miss 3: Looks up at me with a serious face and says "You said knock here".

Oh how innocent the littles ones are!

Laughter is contagious specially the one coming through cute young faces of beautiful children

When I was at work placement last year, three boys and a girl particularly made me laugh.

I was at the 3 to 5 year old room and a 4-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl came running up to me and told me that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. The look on their parents faces when they came to pick them up was a classic!

Next week, I was allocated to the 6 month to 2-year-old room and this 11-month-old boy refused to wear his coat when it was cold. However when it was sunny he insisted to place his coat on. He eventually let us take it off/on. He slid down the slide and touched my shoulder and I got a friction zap which made me wince. He laughed and kept doing it. At least we both thought it was funny.

The following week, I was allocated to the 2 to 3-year-old room and this 2-year-old just started to hang on to me all day and I heard him call me 'mummy'. I tell him firmly my name is Jess, but he insisted in calling me his mummy. I thought it was a bit funny, but I kept the giggles to myself. I don't think his mother was very pleased with me when he shouted to me 'bye mummy, see you tommorrow!'. I apologised and explained to her I tried to get him to call me Jess.
