Today, when I got back to the classroom after lunch, my coworker was standing near one of the bathrooms- she started madly motioning for me to come to her. I wasn't really sure what this could be about, because let's face it, the kids do all kinds of things in the bathrooms, but usually, it's not something we want to show each other. We're all quite used to having the kids use the toilets with the door open, anyone pees or poops while others wash their hands- it's normal. As a teacher, you never hesitate to actually open the door a bit to see what is going on in there, who is in there, etc, because groups of girls huddle in the bathroom to hide from the boys, or to share a lipstick they have sneakily brought to school- boys tend to lock themselves in and go on to have water fights, etc. So, the bathrooms have a pretty open door policy in our classroom... and we've seen plenty...
But today, seeing what I saw, tops anything I have seen in one of our bathrooms...
I wish I had a picture.
But I don't.
Because, he was pooping. Except he wasn't. Because he was asleep. Sitting on the john. Head laid gently on his knees, arms dangling at his sides. There he slept.
We wanted to take a picture so badly, but of course, we did not. Then, my coworker decided that she should really wake him, and so she gently shook his shoulder, and asked, "Are you done?"
P.S. How do you like this new look? I love the flowers on the right side... I wish there were more instead of polka dots. But I like it. And I like how I added lots of different colors for all the headers and stuff, so it's like someone threw up a rainbow on my blog. :)

I like the flowers alot, the polkadots are so-so. I should look into updating my look... but lately I hardly write anything due to lack of functioning camera. :(
Unfortunately, the polka dots come with the flowers (it's all one background) so, it all or none.
Oh well.
Love the color!
