Center Time is what those of you not in Pre-K might call playtime, or mass hysteria. The kids are allowed to play with any of the toys we have in the room. During this hour or so, I just sit back, break up fights, and listen to what the hilarious little ones have to say. 

We have a kitchen set that the kids love to play with. This includes cookware, a little table, and lots of baby dolls. 

Little "Ben" was building with blocks, and before I knew it he had brought a baby doll to me, laid it in my lap, and said "Here. Take care of the baby. I need to go to work"

He just threw the baby at me and left me. But it gave me the giggles for sure. 

On the same day, I heard two little girls in the kitchen who were holding baby dolls and pretending to cook. One of them picked up the phone and talked for a short while and then said "Okay, love you hunny!" and hung up. 

She then turned to her friend and said "That was my husband. He said he's on the way home from work so I need to start making dinner" 

Oh dear. They really do hear everything their parents say, huh?

The cutest playtime game the kids play is "Dad & Son"...I didn't make up that name. That's what they call it. This game is made up of two little boys pretending to be, you guessed it, father and son. It's adorable! I think it's really great that they live in an environment where pretending to be a daddy is something they choose to do. 

Speaking of sons...Friday at lunch, I was talking to Kyle about his siblings. He has two older sisters. I told him that I was the oldest and I only had one younger sister. I then shared with him that I had always wished I had a little brother. 

He said "Well you can have sons!"

I said "Well I guess you're right but that not anytime soon"

Then he thought for a minute and said "hmm..how about Monday?"

A little TOO SOON for me, Kyle! Thanks anyway! 

Kids say the darnedest things, don't they!?

I also had the privilege of teaching a lesson this week. We watched a video about the way that penguins carry their eggs on their feet and pass them from the mommy's feet to the daddy's feet. The kids really liked doing it and loved talking about the little baby penguins. We also supplemented with a few penguin books.   

This week is big for us! Monday was the 100th Day of School, so look out for my pictures of that. Then, we have Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day in two weeks. The time is flying by! This week, you can expect a post about the 100th Day activities and then a Groundhog Day special in the post after that! 

And thank you all for reading! I love my job and the little adventures we have every day and I love being able to share it with whoever wants to hear it.
