Sticky

So I have had the pleasure of taking a young family to church with me for the last few weeks.

There are 3 beautiful children in this family....

Firecracker (in my class)
Princess (His 2 year old sister)
And Stud Muffin (an infant)

I am learning so much from being with them every Sunday.

But today, I had the pleasure of teaching Princess something
        But only after she amazed me first.

The Crazy 2nd-Year Teacher that I am
        gave lollipops to the kids today (with Mom's permission).

Well as you can only imagine, they got
              STICKY!!!!
Princess wasn't having any of this.

She went to the Children's message feeling sticky
       Returned after it was over with one comment.
                "I need wash hands, I sticky."

After taking a wipe to her hands and removing all sticky-ness
       Princess returned to eating her lollipop
All of a sudden she leans to me and asks the most profound
       and exceptionally observant question.

While pointing to the stick in her hand that her candy is so
       nicely posed on top of, she asks,
"Why this make me sticky?"

I told her that her candy was sticky and it was melting
         and therefore dripping onto her hand.

Princess then told me something too smart...
      "Oh, I put in my mouth and make it stop dripping."

Which is just what she did.

She was so proud of herself that the stickiness didn't intensify
      after she placed it in her mouth.



As a side note...According to Firecracker the inside of the lollipop
was none other than
a Tooshy (a slang word for butt) Roll.

Oh those speech sounds that we haven't mastered at age 5 (as of Saturday).

EASTER PARTY!!!!

Any classroom party brings lots of enjoyment to students,
      And lots of stress to the teachers.

Our Easter party was on Wednesday, and our excitement was high all week
        And remains up there even though the Easter party is long gone...

We all know the importance of using the bathroom in a 4-year-olds life
       No ACCIDENTS during the Easter party
             Cuz if we had an accident,
              we would have to leave the party to change
                   And that is just unheard of and unacceptable.

So we all went to the bathroom,
all 17 preschoolers
Well precious preschooler (see Lollipop Lick) went into the last stall.

I glance at the floor of the stall and see his sandals facing the toilet
           and I just assume that his feet are in his sandals
                      BAD ASSUMPTION!

So when I hear a prolonged grunt
         (clearly a pooping grunt)
Coming from precious's stall, I panicked.
              WE DO NOT POOP STANDING UP!!!!!!

So I asked, what any crazy 2nd-year-teacher asks,
       "Precious, what are you doing?"

Precious responds with the obvious...
           "Poop (grunt) ing"

At this moment I freaked out and lean over to look under the stall
                             This is when I realized why assuming is never good.
          Precious was in fact not in his sandals....
                  or his pants.....
                        or his underwear....

Ladies and gentleman, we have a naked pooper!

Well pooping for Precious is not a short process
                  (Maybe the reason for the naked...getting comfy!)
      so the rest of the class leaves for the party while Precious finished
            and I waited to only hear some unfortunate things.

He informed me when he was all done pooping
    And since he is a naked pooper, he had to get redressed
           Which involved a naked rear end sitting on the floor
                   And while this was occurring, he was dancing and singing
                          "Easter party!  Easter party!  Easter party!"

Well, about 10 minutes later, we were all ready to go
          Only after discovering that Precious "had a lot of poop".

Oh brother!  The things we hear!
