It was slow getting started but am enjoying the kids beginning to engage and ask what we are going to do and when we are doing our preschool each day. Now, how do I maintain this feeling
Giving your environment(as well as YOU) a little shake up is always good for renewing your enthusiasm!! It's so easy to get into a rut, in any job really, but with dc being so draining, thankless and stressful, it's a very easy job to get burned out with. Keeping it new, finding ways to relieve the stress and taking care of yourself are all ways to return to a better mindset. Glad you like it again!!
