After watching Dennis make hand and nose prints all over the glass door at the lake, I decided to create another 'teachable moment'. He was instructed by Gran on how to clean a window! He was given the spray cleaner and a paper towel, and he went to town scrubbing his marks off the door. He loved it, loved being allowed to spray a cleaner by himself. We weren't meticulous about it, didn't teach about streaks or lint or any of those atrocities the Windex commercials warn us about, and he did a pretty decent job. We had to make him stop, actually.
I am thrilled to report that I will be an official, for real, actual preschool teacher in the fall. The committee apparently approved, and I'm thrilled to have a job that still allows me to raise my kid (and gives me summers off to boot). Dennis will go with me (but to his own class) on the two days I teach the 2 year olds (yes, the 2 year olds--please remember me in your prayers next school year!) and will stay with me on the afternoons when I keep afternoon care (the few kids who stay til 3:30), 2 or 3 days per week. It couldn't be a better arrangement for us, and if I keep on working there after the upcoming school year, my hours will perfectly coincide with his school days in kindergarten and beyond. What a blessing that God put me on this path! I get to teach little ones about Him and His creation and so many other things while still having lots of time for my own little one!
