Dustin Butler :

Its hard to constantly be mad and have fun but the middle ground is rough

Em :

as a first year im simply never serious unless i need to be. 95% of the time im smiling, laughing and joking with the kids. so it scares the absolute shit out of them when i get serious. i wrote one referral week 2 and have not needed another. learning is fun, im gonna smile until i cant!!!

julescoquettequeen :

I smile all the time. I’m a warm demander. I’m firm af tho

ur dad :

As long as you stand on business whenever it's time, smile as MUCH as you want. Like I'm always full of joy and whimsy, but the kids know when to play and when not to lol
