Hello lovelies, I hope you all had a good day.Something happened to me today. You all know I am a kindergarten teacher right?And this year I am teaching 2 year olds,God bless my soul, I love the little cuties though :).

Then I called my TAs and we sat the kid down and were trying to see how we can get the thing off.. when another student's parent walked in...haha(when kids are late,the parents bring them straight to class) I obviously did not want this parent to see the other kid with a huge box sticking out of his head, so I went up to the door and tried to distract this parent by talking really loud,picking up their kid and asking about their weekend, and moving to the other side coz from where I was standing,the whole drama head in...
