The Coronado Family

Sometimes people absolutely shudder when I tell them that I have a day care in my home. I get comments like "I don't know how you handle it," or "other people's kids bug me," (yep, I have had that one)! And those comments might ring true for some people. But when I get to look after this cute girl everyday, how could my job suck in the least?! We rarely have issues and if we do it is usually because someone is tired or isn't feeling well. Everyday I am in awe of how well they all get along. They all use their manners which I LOVE, they all put their dishes in the sink after each snack and meal (without being asked:), they clean up without complaining after each mess, I could go on and on. Andrea tells me all the time how lucky she feels to have her kids in my care, but I think I am the lucky one. I don't think I would be approaching my second year with these kids if they drove me nuts, no way! Ok, back to the picture. Whenever I pick up Ella from preschool she hardly talks since it is just her and I, Frankie and Soph, and she still gets a little shy when it is just us. Not today! They had their St. Patty's Day party at school and she got in my car and almost shouted "Jessica, I got gold!" She was so excited that we even called her mom so she could tell her the news. 

We got home and took some pictures of her and her sweet gold and she was very proud to show it off!
