naked boys.
my title grab anyones attention?
i'm pretty much ok w/ my little charge spitting on me. biting i've gotten used to as well. one thing which doesn't sit well w/ me is his peeing on things. usually this happens outside. you definitely can't stop him in the middle of the flow of things. and, really once he decides to go...it's difficult to stop him from pulling down his pants. it makes me uncomfortable to even write about. why do i? b/c...it's still a bit funny.
today he was sitting in his chair. it was a fairly good day. we had discussed my addiction to cola and caffeinated beverages. he told me coffee was gross like garbage. and, 'why i drink cola?' we had taken a field trip to my car where he got the chance to stick his head out the moon roof and pretend to drive. but, while he was sitting in his chair he decided to take his shirt off. i was mostly ok with this move. it took much of my negotiating skills, and a bit (of his) spit to get the shirt back on. while he was throwing the fit about the shirt another student was at the other table yelling about something. so i sit with a half naked boy, another kid is screaming at the top of his lungs, one girl is yelling at them all the 'STOP!' and another kid simply sits and stares at the entire ordeal. classic.
during nap he desired to be free from the hindrence of clothing as well. when he takes his shirt off it becomes even more apparant how extremely pale and skinny he is. he's pretty much like a ghost. worse than me even. (yah...pale). it was decided that he could keep his shirt off all of nap time if he put it back on right after nap was over and the shade was up. (all this negotiating takes 10-15 minutes). so...i am folding up his blankets and coaxing him to put his shoes back on. I turn to put the blanket away and i turn back and there is this tiny, naked boy standing on his cot attempting to climb on top of the counter.
it was just a funny site to me. and he was laughing. and running around. i used all my verbals to get him to put all his clothes back on. then he refused to put his belt back on. which is quite a problem b/c his pants don't stay up. so he walks across the room and his pants fall down and his little butt crack shows. i love my job. seriously.
i met tonight w/ a person that does a similar job to me. we discussed how awesome it is to see kids improvements over the weeks/months. one of our students says, 'no' to every single thing. her vocabulary consists of about 3 words. she calls me 'mommie' which actually makes me feel quite good. (yes...see previous post on my desiring to have kids). but, we've been working on her nodding her head, 'yes.' and she actually does it on a consistent basis. three weeks ago she couldn't do that. now she can communicate 'yes.' this is huge!
how much do we take for granted?? that you can read my blog now...that you came across it...that you can type...that you can read...that you can communicate your wants and desires. how blessed you are. i think working w/ these students has caused me to think about much differently. for this change in perspective i am thankful.
ps...b/c my new goal to post more pics...here are more pics of the cutest kid. EVER.
