I hope I don’t get stuck

I started my new job, yesterday was watching the room and just observing what happens. I am working with the kids one on one and I enjoy doing that type of work. In my am in class the child is less responsive but a very sweet kid, he stuck on books which is good but at the same time can be a little bit of a challenge for them.
My second kid of the day was very verbal, and liked to talk and share he needed a little bit of redirection, but nothing more then most kids do when I do children worship.
We are expected to play with the kids, and show them how to play. This is challenge for me because I am not exactly a thin girl. I say I need to lose about 50 pounds to feel comfortable there and even than I am tall enough that *lol* in some places it won’t matter if I was as thin as a rail. I am glad to be working there, because it seems to be the right fit for me. It’s not like some places where I have worked and I just want to run away but a place I do not mind staying around and seeing if I am needed to help more. I think I will say this job has done me a lot of good.
But I hope I don’t get stuck in their play equipment I can just see the fire department needing to come and rescue me out of something! I will probably start dropping weight because playing and running after kids will do that, plus I have walking the dog as a added benefit.
I also found out they won’t be holding my pay for a pay period which is a relief for me. I might decided once I get used to working there to pick up a few extra shifts. I love my new job and can’t remember the last time I came home from work feeling, like I did something good.
The job works well for me because I am helping kids learn and working with children who need a little extra help.
