Day 21 - April 7, 2007

SATURDAY -- I almost did not go to the library today because my back spasm was acting up. I made it on time despite my slow movements. I got to the Children's Room and found that it was Hala, Arpine, Rubina and Cecile working on this day. It was fairly quiet and I only had several reference questions I had to answer. I spent most of the day making the paper aprons for the HeadStart program.

In the afternoon, I supervised the arts & crafts session after Hala's storytelling. Since it was Easter, we made bunnies and mice out of Gerber jars, cotton and joggle eyes. I made one myself and it was a mouse but the kids insisted that it is a puppy. Well, judge for yourself what it looks like:

Well, I guess it can be both, a mouse or a puppy... depending on one's imagination. The origami cranes I make when I have a couple of minutes to spare, it's a habit I cannot shake off since I learned to make them many, many years ago. I find folding paper a bit relaxing. Anyway, I just thought that with my mousey, they make a striking photo.

I have learned many arts and crafts projects in the few weeks of doing this internship. I know some friends and their kids will be happy of my newly acquired skills especially when I babysit for friends who need date night with their hubbies and wives. Any takers for my babysitting with arts and crafts skills in exchange for a good dinner plate?
