Yuck. I am back in Rexburg, Idaho. This is my last semester (unless I fail something) and then it is off to student teaching and then the real world. Every semester I dread coming back up here but then I get here and am just fine. Heavenly messengers must have told the Big Guy just how much I was dreading it this semester because the weather has been not as harsh as the other winters I have been here. I still can't believe my college experience is almost done, and even though I should feel wiser and more mature than the day I drove into this little town, i still feel like the 18 year old girl who was wondering what the heck she was going to do with her life. Just when I feel like throwing in the towel and faking a life threatening disease (I am sure it is easier than it sounds) I am reminded just how much I love what I am doing.
It's moments like today when I went to go do a home visit for the Toddler lab I will be working in this semester. I have been excited to do the Toddler lab but a little bit nervous about how well I will do since I have been so used to working with preschool age children because of preschool last semester. As soon as one of the other teachers and I arrived at the home and met the toddler that will be in our lab, I realized just how much I love the toddler years! Getting down on the ground and playing silly games seemed so natural. I know I probably shouldn't but I already am in love with the little boy I went to visit. I loved getting to know the family and pretending I was a professional, even if I was crawling on the ground and stacking blocks. If I have a choice when I enter the work force, I want to work with toddlers. It is just a fun age! I am so excited to get to know the 13 little busy bodies that will be entering my classroom this semester.
