Good day

[babycakes]

I have had such a good day that I wanted to share it.

We started a music award for the young people and it is going down a storm. They have to mix a CD, with scratching, decks, instruments, rapping, singing and a computer programme of sounds. The kids love it so much. One young lad was very apprehensive about playing the drums, but I could tell he desperately wanted to try so with mountains of encouragement he had a go and he was a natural, (the next John Bonham maybe??) anyway he physically grew with the praise and encouragement. I do so love my job. The children I work with have nothing. No money, no hopes, dreams, aspirations, confidence, self esteem for one reason or another and yet they are some of the most fantastic people I have ever met who teach me so much about myself.
So I am feeling really content and humle too X

Then I went to Tesco and they had a sale on of pet toys and food etc. Denis got a 3 way crinkle tunnel £12 (can't get him out of it) and a glove with hanging mice on £1 I will post pics soon.

BC, what a heartwarming post, and thanks for sharing that with us: it made me feel so good just knowing that there are people like you out there! The bit about the shy little boy actually brought a tear to my eyes...well done, you!

On a less serious note, I've never heard of a three way crinkle tunnel...but suspect I want one, as Leia loves her regular one so much. Pics definitely, please!!!

so good to hear of kids doing something good with their lives, all they want to do is *hang out* around the local shops hassling ppl here.

That's the thing though there is nothing else for them to do especially when they have no money or families who don't provide their entertaiment

And that's sad in itself. Just think what emotional difficulties they must be going through to have to act like it all isn't bothering them but they hang around waiting!!

If parents were parents and didn't think that that children should entertain themselves whilst they have a life then the world would be a better place. Children are not born bad they learn it from who should be the best teachers they should have.
