This past week I began my new job at Cheyenne Elementary School. Every day I visit several ELL students in their classroom and assist them with their assignments and clarify English language concepts for them. I LOVE IT! I see about 20-25 students a day ranging from fourth grade to eighth grade. I have my own little office off of the school library and work 8-3 everyday. I have even already begun to volunteer with the school's new At Risk program to help students who, due to economic, personal, or other circumstances, are deemed "at risk" by the school's intervention specialist. I just love being in a school. It's just the perfect environment for me.Also, because of my schedule, I get to spend every afternoon an
d evening with Eddie and Ben. Having the weekends off together is also a big bonus. I get to enjoy hanging out with my boys now and have already noticed how much Ben has grown over the past few weeks. He is saying new words every day. He understands so much, but is also learning to test his limits and our patience! He is becoming bolder in his actions, though he still listens to our admonition, and I attribute it to his growing confidence. Every time I look at him, I see a little boy who is so loving, sensitive, and special and I find myself amazed that Heavenly Father has blessed us with such a wonderful child. Sometimes I wonder if I am learning more from him than perhaps he is learning from us. Funny how oft times our children teach us the attributes that we had planned to teach them.

Oh my gosh! Your baby is HUGE! Wow! Crazy! Glad you're new schedule is working out much better.
This post seems so much happier than posts in the past. So glad things have worked out!
NIKKI! I can't believe that you have a baby that big! I was going to ask you what your new job is...glad I found out here. It sounds like things are going wonderful. Ya know... it has been a while since I have seen you. I still haven't met your husband!
very profound
I'm so glad you found a better job! Ben is a lot bigger from since I've last seen him!
Your baby's so big, I think he qualifies as a toddler! And he's as cute as his mom!
