Goodbye Daycare

I have been missing my kids lately.  I had been looking forward to the day that I would be able to quit and move on to student teaching.  It's amazing how quickly I can forget about all of the negative parts of daycare when it's time for me to leave.  I miss my kids.  They were always so exciting and kept me laughing.  I miss getting frustrated with them and spending all of my time with them.  They were always so happy and easily entertained.  Now I'm bored and I miss all of their little surprises.  I was in tears the night before I quit because I knew this would happen.  I'm very lucky that I can still visit from time to time.  I'm excited to see where all of these kids go with their lives.  They are bright little lights that will influence the world in big ways.  I just miss them.  Hopefully teaching will bring me as much joy as working with my little ones did.
