130.
artist:veggie tales
album:veggie tunes vol 2
i have more kiddie Cd's than anyone without kids should own. just throwing that out there. at first it was because I'm just a great big giant kid, but recently its been great because I'm around kids most of the time.
i work at a Christian school as an aftercare "teacher." i don't really teach them anything, i just kind of hang out with them and keep them out of trouble until their mommies and daddies can come get them, but they call me "teacher" so that's just the easiest way to think of it.
i have a little baby who is in aftercare nearly every day that i just adore. i love them all a great deal, but some of them have such fantastic personalities, even at such a young age. this particular baby is four and loves to sing. quite often she and i will start singing veggie-related songs, so i thought as a treat for her as well as the other kids, id bring in a veggie tales CD to listen to since it was a rainy day and we couldn't go outside to play.
my aftercare kids range in age from four years old up to second grade, so the oldest ones might be eight. the bigger kids tried to act like they didn't want to listen to the CD, but by the time it ended, everyone in that classroom was singing along. we were all playing and coloring and doing other things, but we were all singing. the four-year-old that I've already mentioned made herself a microphone out of connector blocks and i followed suit. we serenaded the rest of the class and of course were met with everything from giggles to weird looks, but for us it was a good time. later on, a few of the kids were still singing "CEEEEEEEEE-BBBBBBUUUUUUU" so i know they all had as much fun as i did.
i feel like i really got the chance to bond with some of the kids using vegetables. school is almost over for the summer, but i hope i get the chance to do this again soon.
i really do love hanging out with those kids. I'm going to miss them all summer.
