Compliments from a 2nd Grade Teacher

Doesn't it feel just absolutely wonderful when others compliment your children? For some reason, it makes me feel accomplished as a mother! This morning, my usually responsible but sometimes absentminded oldest child, Jada, left her homework envelope setting on the couch. I, being the ever so loving and caring mother that I am, took it up to school for her. The office at good ol' Bonham Elementary was busy trying to get everything in order for the TAKS test, so they sent me to her classroom to give it to her myself. Of course, when she saw me, she wanted to jump up out of her seat and give me a hug, but I had to put up my hand to pause her, as they were in the middle of saying the pledge. She was relieved and happy to get her homework, and if I know my child like I think I do, she would have been stressing about it all day. Getting to the point of this blog, Jada's teacher, Mrs. Powell, pulled me outside of the classroom and proceeded to tell me how "absolutely wonderful" my child has been this year! She said that Jada (and her little sister) are the sweetest children she has ever met! She told me that Jada just talks so sweetly about her sister all the time! Yes, I looked at her like she was CRAZY...after all, my girls are any- and everything but sweet to each other at home! I walked out of that school feeling so proud to be the mommy of these two "sweet" beauties!
