So moments after I wrote the previous blog entry I had to go pick up the kids at school. I couldn’t help but share this with everyone. As I’m standing in the open field feeling very windblow I see the ribbons of students starting to emerge. I usually stand back until I see Sydney’s teacher and anxiously await the outcome, will she come out smiling? crying? indifferent? Much to my surprise my dear little Sydney was not the first in line holding the teachers hand, instead it was the little boy crying from this morning. Where was Sydney? 5,6,7 kids go by and she hadn’t yet emerged. 8, 9, 10 and finally smiling and holding the hand of another little girl she came racing out of the school saying, “goodbye” to the little girl and running over to me. The teacher looked at me and raised not one but two thumbs up and said she had an incrediable day. She also said that she spoke in class today and the same little girl that she was holding the hand of said to her, “Sydney it’s so nice to hear you speak!” How heartwarming, not to mention what a great way to start off the weekend.
Have a good weekend everyone!
