So.

Where to start.

Here I guess.

Well on Tuesday I started practicum in a little preschool about 5 minute drive away. Flip. 25 children and I love them so much already.

I can honestly say my passion is children. Their innocence and honesty makes me want to hug them so tight and show them off to the world and say ' this is how we are meant to live'. With the courage to speak up when we want something, and the knowledge to know when we have done wrong. The honesty to say you are being mean and the freedom of not always 'having' to be nice to everyone.

One little boy (who i wrote about in my last blog) Ricky. He is adorable. I love him to pieces. We sat in silence and built towers. Another little boy Gideon came and played and asked 'big' people questions, we also sat and played and built tower he gave me hugs.

an Ethipoian gir (who speaks Pukapuka - the language that they speak here, it originates from the Cook Islands) has pretty much latched onto me. She flings herself on me when I am least expecting it and makes me realise, children are unpredictale. Who wants to be a normal, predictable person anyways?

Afilia is a little foster girl. Breaks my heart at the thought of somene wanting to give up this child, or any child in particular. Breaks and makes me angry. She is lovely and very straightforward.

One thing that made me smile was when I first came in today my other friend Henry came and gave me a hug and said, 'Where is your mum?' *At home* 'And your dad?' *At work* 'Oh, did they let you come here?' *Yes. I'm here to play with you* ...another hug.

I love love love this beyond words. My heart is for once not aching every second of my life. If this is my 3rd day  I can only imagine what its going to be like when I leave. Ah. But for now I will enjoy and love these kids and let them love me back :)
