messing with preschoolers
Apr. 27th, 2016 12:12 pmJust finished up my preschool storytime this morning. One of the things I like to do when it comes to the craft is keep it really freeform and open, giving me a chance to talk to all the kids one-on-one for a bit.
ANYWAY, today I had identical twin girls who Mom (or maybe the Au Pair/Nanny) decided to dress in matching outfits today and do their hair the same. I feel like if I was an identical twin, I would not like this, but whatever.
So I walk over and approached the one little girl (I deduce that her name is Lily because someone has written it on her artwork for her) and start to talk to her. She just kinda looks at me and slowly speaks a few words. Before she can finish her sentence, the other twin jumps in, talking loudly and very quickly, pointing at all the things on her paper, telling me everything. I acknowledge her then go back to trying to listen to Lily. Lily seems a bit surprised that I am paying any attention to her, and her sister is still yammering on in my ear. Finally, I looked at Lily and said "Do you know this girl?" and pointed to her sister.
Her face, omg, I wish I had a camera at that moment because you could tell this question had never been asked and it blew her mind. LOL.
Then the nanny tried to help out and give the sister some focus, she asked "what is your name?" and she was all "Piper Madeline" and then she asked "How old are you?" and she said "THREE!" and then I looked at Lily and said "How old are you?" which made her kind of smile and she *started* to say something but then Piper started talking again! I gave Lily a kind of look and AGAIN HER FACE! Even as a three year old, Lily has already perfected the "Yes, this is my life" face as her sister babbled on and on in my ear about who knows what.
Also, I had two people ask me today if I had kids because my storytime was so good. I told them I just hang out with them a lot and also drink dunkin donuts coffee. :P
