Working with children is a CALLING and you know if you've been CALLED. It's the tickle in your gut when you see a toddler experience ice cream for the first time, the swell in your chest when you see a preschooler's surprise as they tie their own shoes, the smiles that flow when you are swarmed by two year olds wanting to give your legs a hug. YOU know those feelings. They are incredible!
