i love kids.

i mean, seriously. these preschoolers are just the cutest little kids. this morning, i tested a rambunctious four year old girl (erika) and a shy three year old boy (nathan) and i love them both. i love how happy and curious and full of life they are. i waaaant ooooone.

when i first met erika, i told her my name was cherry and she said, "like the cherry on top of a dessert!!" ahhhh! so cute!! and throughout the experiment, she would just randomly meow at me. she was so talkative and bouncy too. actually made it a little difficult to keep her on task, but that's okay. hahaha, she made fun of one of the other experimenter's name too. she didn't mean to, of course, but it was funny. one of the other experimenter's name is mieke (pronounced "meeka") and erika said, "mieke?! that's a funny sound!!" hahahaha... nathan was adorable too. really shy, but after the little ball of energy that was erika, it was a welcome change.

sigh. happiness.
