Made My Day

Yesterday, while I was putting up art work from J's 2nd grade class in the office, a teacher that I knew walked past. She stopped to say 'hi'. She taught B when he was in 2nd grade. When I did Art in her class, sometimes J would tag along. She was a great teacher for B!! She asked about the boys (she also remembers N). We both agreed that we wouldn't want to do Middle School over again. Harsh times for many!! She then told me that she's always a little flabbergasted about how many of the kids are so worried about being 'cool', among other things, at such a young age -- she sees it in her 2nd grade class. She said my boys are so thoughtful, and focused on the right things. She topped off the compliment by saying that she'd want to have boys just like mine. Wow. That was one of the nicest things ever said to me. I know I have good boys, and I'm so grateful. It's nice to hear positive things about them ... especially that!
