worlds collide

the last time i taught in a class,

he was with me,

in my belly.

this time i got to do what i love with the boy who made me a momma.

we were experimenting with physical and chemical changes.

my station had calcium chloride.

turns water warm when mixed.

loved spending the day with the kids.

seeing their faces when they felt the warm cup from the reaction.

kind of made me miss the classroom.

these were the teaching moments i loved.

the ah-has.

the love of learning.

the chatter of excitement.

i loved being there for him.

even though...

he wouldn't have lunch with me during his break and

sucked his cheeks in to stifle a smile when he saw me.

i got to teach, see the sparks, & be with my boy.

all of the joy with none of the paperwork...

anyday.
