Loving this

I am loving every minute of having my own daycare. I feel like I have found my calling in life. I enjoy getting up and going to work every morning. It amazes me how quick children learn. I have one child that can now say his entire ABC's . I am amazed at how they are like sponges.
I found this poem that sums up how I feel

The Daycare Provider
Although I'm not their mother, I care for them each day. I cuddle, sing, and read to them,And watch them as they play.I see each new accomplishment,and help them grow and learn, I understand their language,and I listen with concern.They come to me for comfort,And I kiss away their tears. They proudly show their work to me,I give the loudest cheers! No, I am not their mother,But my role is just as strong. I nurture them and keep them safe,Though maybe not for long. I know someday the time may come,When we will have to part, But I know each child I've cared forIs forever in my heart!!!!!!!
