did i mention...

...i love my job? yes, it's true. i'm an early riser so when one of my families offers to open their home to me in the morning i'm all for it! with that said, my wednesdays start bright and early, 6:30, and the little one i see at this time is making some serious progress. today, there was a language explosion that myself and his caregiver were witness to during my session. hearing some of the words that were attempted to be said on his own brought tears to both of our eyes. the thing is, this happens to me almost on a daily basis, and i'm not a crier. really i'm not, but in the last year of doing first steps i've easily become more aware of my emotional connection with the families i work with and how much i care for my kiddos progress and their needs to communicate. i am beyond blessed when it comes to job satisfaction, and am mindful that God continues to show me the that i am where i need to be; through each little tear and with every little word that's said i'm reaffirmed of this daily!
