SO my site didn't have heat today, so we ended up having to send all the little kids home. I got sent to a different site for the day. N U R S E R Y. Toddlers. Widdle babies who barely know how to make words.

Ya'll, it was the nicest change of pace. Six kids. One room. Three teachers. All they did was fuck around and use finger paints. They were quiet and happy and liked showing me all the little toys they had found like little treasures.

One girl was feeling sick and kept falling asleep at random. I asked her after she woke up if she wanted me to hold her for a bit and she said, "Yeah..." and sat on my lap like it was nothing. Perfect stranger and she trusted me when she wasn't feeling well.

I usually gotta chill with someone's cat to feel that honored. Her head was right up on my shoulder and she sat there for a good ten minutes while I watched the other kids wandering around looking at things.

Like, it's been so long since I was honestly in the presence of little toddlers for such a long period of time that I forgot how much I actually like this age group and how cute they are.

SO SMOL. SO CUTE. MUST PROTECC.
