My kids:

So, I talked about the cuties I teach my private lessons to but I need a lil section to fully let you comprehend what I’ve been up to! Mondays I have Ramon, 10 and Marce, 8 for an hour. Both kids have the best behavior and have a good understanding of the English language. We do a lesson every week and play some games also. After I teach them I walk to their cousin’s house to teach Imma the genius, 5 and her crazy brother Antonio, 7. Tony is my only problem child. He is so full of energy that he has to sing (in Spanish) during every activity we do. I don’t’ mean like oh I’ll hum a lil tune…no he’s screaming this Spanish crap song and his mom is in the other room like what the Hell is Erin doing! Also, he is king of finding anything I bring with me or in the room that he can throw. Last week it was a bouncy ball that he repeatedly bounced off the wall above my head until it hit me , the week before it was my text book that he kept stealing and trying to color in even though I told him not to like 1000 times. This week Tony decided to fight with his sister, cry, throw her on the ground, yell Mierda (shit), and not learn one single thing…god I love him! So, being me I decided to mess with him because he’s a lost cause. When he messes around I stick my tongue out at him, I steal anything that he gets his grubby lil hands on, and I poke him. I give every kid a sticker after they finish their class and I always threaten him that he won’t get one if he doesn’t sit down and stop chucking pencils, rubbers (erasers), and my broken crayons that he broke 5 mins before. My favorite part is that I teach their father later in the evening and he asked me about the kids and I was going on and on about Imma saying how smart she is and he was like “She does amazing in school but Tony is just…Tony,” and I was like yeah. Tuesday I have Gabi, 9 and Guillermo, 7 who are the cutest lil boys with curly hair. They give me no headaches. Guillermo calls spiders speedermans and I die laughing everytime and can't correct him! Wed. I have Josefina the mother and her kids Albert and Sandra. They are a great family and learn very quickly. Thurdays I have the 5 and 7 year old I spoke about earlier. Critina and Mireia are so much fun! I practically just babysit them for two hours and throw in some English when they feel like it. If someone would have said Erin next year you will be crawling around on the floor barking like a dog, singing High School Musical and the ABC’s, drawing silly faces to describe emotions, and buying stickers by the bulk I would have laughed…but I’m doing it and loving every minute of it! Mireia is allergic to gluton so she can’t eat anything really…no bread, no cookies, nothing with gluton!
