You make me feel so young.

     Today one of my cherubs asked me how old I was. I told her I was 21. Her eyes got absolutely huge and then she said, "Really? How do you look so young, Miss Snyder?"

     Oh, I love them.
     I can't tell you how many hugs I got today. I had one tell me that I was her favorite teacher. I also planned five lessons and a few units, made twenty-one sandwiches in less than ten minutes (thanks to a mix-up where we thought we would have pizza for lunch and therefore told parents not to pack lunches.. whoops!), facilitated multiple snail races, tied shoes, comforted an embarrassed little one who had accidentally wet herself, enthusiastically fawned over twenty-one drawings of trees, applied two band-aids, read four books aloud, explained how to walk in line about fifteen different ways, and taught about patterns, paths, the letter "S", taking turns, fall, clorophyll, worms, and handling snails.
     How do I look so young? Because those sweet little cherubs keep me chasing after them all day long. And I love them for it.
