Up until recently I had been off work...initially b/c I miscarried; then got pregnant With BabyDimps and then been on an extended maternity leave hehe b/c I was lucky enough to be.
Now that we're settled in our new place and the girls are older we/I felt it a wonderful opportunity to take on a few kids in our own home day care! And though we're in the midst of organizing playroom/basement blueprints we are making do in a smaller space.
We have 2 lil brothers (3 yrs and 18 months) who come anywhere from 2-4 times a week...and they are AWESOME! I love 'em and so do the girls! We have a blast. Today, for example we "danced" for an HOUR (with a 10 minute break for their snack!) We usually start off quiet, you know, the ho-hum boring every day kids songs that everyone knows...then whatever "theme" the kids are obsessed with (lately it's Pirates) so I dig out my Pirates of the Caribbean CD and we have a mini sword fight(b/c seriously a pirate without one isn't much of a pirate & what fun would that be!?) and we row boats and we jump off imaginary planks (or off my area rug in other words) and swim through shark/crocodile stinging jelly fish infested waters...SOOOO much fun! We then wanted some more "movie based" music so YouTube to the rescue...we had to "Move It! Move It!" to a lil bit of Will.I.Am from the Madagascar movies; and some Shrek for flavour!
Oh it was LOADS of fun, and I was honestly disappointed that they all got so tired (oh right, they're just lil kids hehehe) But hopefully we can do it again after nap time/snack time in the afternoon! Wish me luck!
