That's the first thing I said when I walked into my house this afternoon after spending 16.5 hours working at a local Jewish Community Center in their program for Special Needs children. They had a 3-day vacation program for the children, ages 5-10, and each day there was a different activity planned. Monday we did ceramics, yesterday we went to Pump It Up!--a party place full of blow-up castle-like "playgrounds," and today we built bears. We also went swimming, colored, made music, and had fun.
I had such a good time at work that no matter how tired I was on my way there, I didn't want to leave to come home each afternoon. Working with children who have Autism, especially of varying severities, is extremely interesting. I just wish I could see into their worlds and understand what's going on in their minds. They are bright children and each of them has such different personalities and interests but they're all incredible! It was definitely a great way to spend three days of my Winter Break and I wish I could spend more like that!
Just wanted to share that experience on my blog!
