Jobs

I often wish I could stay home and not go to work.

But so far this week --
- I helped identify a possible hearing problem in a child, who will now probably receive further screening and help with speech
- I sat with a mom while her eyes filled with tears at the thought of weaning her first child, which she must do in order to try to also carry and bear her son's sibling-embryos
- A little girl created a "house-bed" for her doll out of scrap boxes, paper, and tape while I watched and helped
- I held a little premie and helped her mom understand how to read her cues and soothe her.
- I helped another Parent Educator puzzle out a concerning situation with one of her families
- A little toddler kept pushing his way onto my lap with a book for me to read
- I played with a 2 1/2 year old non-stop talker who is already reading some words
- I received a sloppy hug from a cuddly 11 month old bear of a boy who is just learning to walk.

I guess I like some things about my job after all.
