Historically, Tuesday has always been my least favourite day of the week. It's a totally lacklustre day offering nothing noteworthy....and oh so far from Friday
This morning though was a little different. I had a new family start last week, for 2 days/wk to start, moving to full time in Aug when I have space. They were a great interview, easy to get to sign and generally just lovely people. Their little guy, despite parental concern of a rough transition, has done remarkably well and bonded with me within an hour.
For Father's Day, I bought some $10 flip flops for each of the dads and had the kids put their foot prints in fabric paint on the inside. Then I wrote Dad xoxo on the left and the child's name with a heart in fabric paint on the right. Our Mother's Day gift was a t-shirt from Micheal's with fabric paint hand prints, the child's name and "Mother's Day 2013" on the front. They only started last week, so I did a shirt for mom that had hand prints and "_____'s First Daycare, June 2013".
Didn't she show up this morning with a card touting my awesomeness and their great luck at finding me. AND a gift card to Winners!
Whaaaatttt??????
My clients are so great....all of them.....and now the new one joins the roster. It's so wonderful to be appreciated for your efforts on a regular basis. This Tuesday just got a whole lot brighter and is a shining example of why I love my job so much.
