'happyness'

to a four year old kid..

-running around a basketball court/playing in the playground. hear their laughter and squeals and you will really feel the joy oozing out of them:) its really heartwarming watching them run with their hands spread out and their hair dancing in the wind.

-being praised for cutting something out well. the kids today really tested my drawing skills - from triangle to square to rectangle to circle to heart to star. some collected coloured paper cut-outs of each shape and they beam when told that its good. well..some were really quite good for their age.

-putting both hands over the mouth to give a flying kiss at the end of the school day. mmmmmu-AHHHH [something like that]

-seeing mommy [or the equivalent] at the end of the school day. machiam release from prison like that.

-being different for the rest of the kids. this is going to be hard to explain..but girl W asked me to read a book for her and as usual a group of them swarmed around wanting to listen. i sat one one of the kid-sized chair, placed the book on the table and started reading aloud. it got a little crowded and so i picked up girl D who was closest to me and placed her on my lap [actually picked up isnt very accurate cos she is on the bigger side] she was so smug about it and gloated to her friend "see..i sit here:)"
