Take a closer look-He clawed my eye out! And a few weeks before that, he BIT my eye-missing my eyeball by millimeters. I think he was determined to make me blind, just like him. And for a blind kid, he has some AMAZING aim. He has also clawed my hands and I'd come home with new scratches all over my hands regularly. I meant to get a picture of that, but hadn't and now they're just scarred. Poor boy is blind and autistic among other things, so he randomly scratches and bites and all that fun stuff. I finally said I was done working with him. As much as I love the little kid, I'm a little worried about getting some type of infection and that is the last thing I need right now. Anyways, I really have enjoyed work this year. For those of you who don't know, I had this great, fun job and NMSBVI-a state preschool for visually impaired children. Most of them are diagnosed with a syndrome which includes a vision problem, so they're at our school. They have multiple problems mostly. I have absolutely loved the kids, love the working schedule of a school (Christmas break, spring break, summer break....lots o' breaks!), loved that I could walk to work (up until we moved), love that I only have to drive about 3 minutes now to work.... It's been a great experience!Be grateful if your children are born healthy and well-what a miracle! I think it's easy to take for granted how much can go wrong. But if they aren't, you might be in for a ride, but I can promise you they will absolutely steal your hearts still!! I will miss these little guys when my time here is done....
