working girl

yesterday was my first day as a sub in mia's class while her teacher's out of town. i didn't know what to expect from a class of seven 2 year-olds but i ended up really liking it. the kids are sweet (not mouthy like my old fourth-graders) and they have their routines down pat, so things went pretty smoothly. the biggest surprise was that mia was good. i thought she was going to demand a lot of extra attention and flip out on me, but she only cried once when i wouldn't hold her. and the hardest part was definitely keeping track of who pottied when, who was in diapers, and who was about to have an accident. i might be taking over the younger two year-old class in january (with only 5 kids), so this week is a good test run. i enjoyed being out of the house with the kids but not really with the kids, if that makes any sense. and i still have one more day to sub this week, so we'll see if it's as pleasant as the first...
