Getting out there and being seen. I love taking my children out - even if it just dropping off at school. People look and comment on the wonderful children I have with me. The comments I hear are how wonderful they children behave. We can walk into a craft shop to buy some resources for a special occasion and all but the very youngest select items and carry shopping baskets. One of my little girls always remember if someone isn't there - away sick or on holiday - or maybe something for the ASCK. One of my older boys who will be 10 in 5 days time, who is an only child, takes great pride in his DC sisters - helping them with their shoes, holding their hands, wiping their chins when icecream has run down. People in shops remember my children when they are shopping with their parents and say hello to the children the children return the salutation and parents are always so pleased to hear the positive comments from people they have never met before on how wonderful their child behaves when out and about. I love FDC, I love the children and the parents. I thank the people who talk to me every day for taking the time - to talk to me.
