Today was a long crazy day at work. One of the children I normally have every day came down with Pink Eye yesterday, so today I had to start disinfecting toys. I say start because seriously there are so many toys that it's impossible to do it in one day. Luckily my room is sectioned off into three areas, so I can put the kids in different areas to keep them contained while I cleaned. It was still difficult to watch 5-8 (it fluctuated) 13 mon-1 yr olds and also clean toys. I finally got them down for naps and was cleaning the toys when one of the children in the neighboring class flooded the toilet that our two classrooms share. And of course the floor tilts down in my direction so instead of it flooding out into the other classroom it all came into mine. So it was a crazy day. I'm hoping I can get all the toys cleaned quick enough so the kids can start playing with them again. I wish they would let me clean them in the late afternoon when we combine classes and I no longer have any children, but they would rather send me home early.

Ethan has started his preschool group again, and he is very ready to learn. He loves school, and is responding so well. When he turns 3 in October he will go into the school district with their development program. He's started singing along with things on tv and attempts to do dances that he sees on tv. He loves the cartoons that have singing and dancing. He also has started trying to sing Old McDonald, he keeps repeating E I E I O, and I'm not sure where he picked up the song, but I think it's cute. He loves music and books, and just seems so eager to learn. He is working really hard at speaking, so it won't be long until it all comes together. He loves to count, so I am looking for books on counting, abc's, colors, shapes etc. to help him learn. I'm very proud of him.
