Two Very Different Children

          I need to come up with better titles for my enteries, I know. This one is hard to come up with though. all of my children that I work with are different and been in different situations. We never know what a child has been through until when get the child. I have two very different children that I have to learn a lot about and remember a lot about.
           I had a little girl that was going to be my challenge for three months. She came in with a bump on her head and her left arm broken. I had to start giving her baths with a Wal-Mart bag on her arm. She got the cast off after a week of working with her. She would spit at friends and any workers that when she didn't like what we made her do or when another child had something she wanted. She was so anxious that she had a kitty that she would carry around everywhere with her. If she lost the kitty, she would ask, "where's kitty?" She couldn't stay or work with one thing for more then 3 mins.  She did play with the chain links and chalk for a long time. She would talk and talk and talk even at bedtime and she would keep sitting up and laying down at bedtime. She would not lay still until she knew I was serious about it. She was my next challenge but she left before I felt like I did anything but I believe I did something in that short amount of time. She had the most pretty smile and laugh when she would do it but she didn't do that very often either, mostly when I just held her.
            It was neat to take care of a child with a broke arm. It's not neat how she got it but it was a way I could relate to her and it brought back memories of my broken arm. I knew what to do for a bath because I had to have it done to me. I was always scared that water would get in her cast but it never did. It was hard to see her do things with the cast on but it was neat when she got it off. She would use it like nothing was ever wrong with it and it was neat to see that. She used it to play with toys, swings outside, and eat but she still had a hard time climbing and pulling up on things. She was scared to climb the treehouse or out of the ball pit.
            I have a little boy that is very smart and happy. I really have to watch him though. He is the kind of child that is allgric to everything so bad that he needs meds for it. He also comes from a family of 6 with him being the 6th one. He has a positive outlook on life and is very polite. There is nothing much to tell about him but this. He is just different because really he can't eat anything because he is allgric to so many things. Even the smallest thing like "may have milk in it" might make him sick. It is so funny because when you get the whole family together at suppertime, they take up a whole table and need a worked to sit with them. Something else that is very strange about this family is that it is mixed with different children. I know that happens a lot but I guess with that big of a family you can really tell a difference and it is strange. I am scared that I will give him the wrong thing on accient because I'm busy or not thinking but know I can't mess up.
               These 2 are my 1st different children and by that I mean by very 1st different children. I never had to take care of a child with a broken arm or that is allgric to so many different things. My job has been an experience for me in this past month but I still love it because I'm learning a lot of new things and becoming more outgoing. My workers are seeing the smartalike side of me and that is something that suprises everyone when that side comes out. Like I tell my co-worker, some days I have to be that smartalike because that is what gets me through the day and that is how I make people laugh because they don't expect it from me at first.
