Lighting the way

I love Starbucks' nursery worker. It is possibly inappropriate how much i like her. Sometimes i buy them biscuits or chocolate treats to make their tea breaks nicer. A happier worker, makes for a happier child at nursery. That's my theory.

Yesterday when i went to collect Starbucks, (she only goes two days a week while i work) it was only her and her worker, Ludi, in the room. Ludi started at the same time as Starbucks and they grew an instant bond. Its fairly easy to tell that Starbucks is Ludi's favourite baby. She always has lovely anecdotes to share when you collect Starbucks and she is always so excited about any new developments. She is, in fact, so much like Xss and I in the way we play with Starbucks, that she jokes that Starbucks is getting annoyed with her following her around trying to be her friend. Since Starbucks has learnt to run (yep run- i am proud), she is putting this to good use running away from people at inopportune times, and using this skill to create an air of disinterest and disdain for anyone with the slightest interest in being her friend (adults only).

Anyway, yesterday as i collected Starbucks she was trying to write with a pen. Ludi and I joked about what she might be trying to write to tell us and Ludi replied, 'i recon she's writing, Piss Off Ludi'. ahaha. I laughed, but Ludi had to apologise for her inappropriate comment in a childcare setting. This makes me love Ludi more, she is a real person. She truly loves Starbucks and views her as an independent person, with her own views and wishes despite not having a voice.

6/52 Happy? Having someone you like raise your child while they are at nursery.
