Today for my Child Development class a bunch of people brought in kids and we all got to play around with them. I read and fought with toy dinosaurs and colored on white boards and swapped my favorite Disney quotes and didn't feel at all like I was taking care of them, but more like I was playing ... remember like we used to? "Hey, can you play today?" That's how it was.
Well, afterwards I got home, got on facebook (ohh, imagine that) and saw an album stuffed with pictures of the cutest two boys in the world.
And now I have a dilemma and a pressing new wish list. Here goes...
*This sounds all sentimental or whatever, but I wish I had a toddler to read with every night. And I'd get so tired when they insisted on the fourth and the fifth book ... or reread of the same one.
*I wish it was socially acceptable to start up an enthusiastic conversation with someone else simply because they were the same age, gender, playing with the same things, or just because they're the same species at me.
*I wish I could play with dinosaurs on a regular basis.
*I wish putting on a creative puppet show would get be a good grade.
*I wish I had show and tell for all of the things I'm bursting to tell people, but again, that's really just not socially acceptable.
*I wish I lived in Logan.
*I wish I was working or living someway that every day of my life I could hug a sweet baby or toddler or child.
*I wish people would look up to me because I knew the name of the yellow care bear. Or because I can read the entire book Fox in Socks with only three mistakes. Or because I know how to get a skid mark out of tile (That's right, put your foot on top of it and rub hard ... look it disappeared!)
All in all, I guess I'm Siera so an all-kid blog post was bound to come up eventually. So there it is folks ... my wish list.
