internship

Hey Everyone
I did my internship at Crayons Child Care Center in West Warwick. I worked in the infant room and it was a lot of fun playing with babies all day long. The kids were very cute and the place where i worked was really nice. The Center mainly works with mentally handicapped kids and most of the infants had some sort of disability although its hard to tell since they are all so little. One little girl is so small that she is only 9 pounds at 7 months and then there was one baby that was probably a good 25 pounds at 5 months old but both of them were really adorable. I mainly spent my time playing with the kids or feeding them. Overall it was a really fun experience. I did have one incident however that was a bit amusing as i was washing down the cribs I somehow managed to bump into the fire alarm pulling down the fire alarm and setting off the alarm. Everyone in the entire building had to evacuate and about 6 fire trucks showed up to the school. It was incredibly embarrassing and i felt so bad but looking back now of course i would do something like that.. hah i am such a mess. I hope everyone else had a fun time at their internships i know i had a great time at mine!
all the best
Erika
