Kids, Kids, Kids

Wow - ok, so I figure maybe I should post some about the kids I keep. They are a great bunch, I have a 17mth old, 19mth old, 3yr, 4yr, 5yr, & 6yr. (then my own 2 children). Now mind you, not all of those kids are here every day, some are part-time & some are before/after school only. I have to say I LOVE this job. It does have it's ups & downs. Some days are beyond crazy - but at the same time it is so rewarding. When they sing back to me the songs I have taught them or they know their colors & shapes - I just smile & know that I helped to teach them.
Some of them are handfuls - but with this age group there's going to be temper tantrums & not wanting to share - I am sure you can only imagine.
I have one little boy who just won't eat - they say if a child is hungry enough they will eat. But no matter what I put in front of him - he just won't eat. Come to find out his parents still spoon feed him some & he still eats some baby food at home because that's all they can get him to eat. They are trying to get him to eat solids but he's very stubborn - so if you are reading this & have any tips for me on getting a 3yr old to eat solid food please let me know!!!! Thanks.
