Early returns and small packages

At the end of the third day of third grade, her teacher looked at me and said, “You have a happy child.”
now wrap that up to cherish another day. We got a call about how well the first day of first grade went…I saved the message on our voice mail because there will be times that I need to be fortified by such a message.

I was going to say “That must have made your day.” But my guess is that it probably “made your life.” That’s the good stuff. But it’s all good stuff.

That’s the kind of compliment that really means something. Someone said that to me in the grocery store, once. I don’t know if I took it in.

AWWWW!@! That is the best gift ever–to have such a daughter!
And in that video of the amazing eyebrow rolls, you look completely happy too–like you are enjoying her!
I used to teach third grade, and it’s such an amazing time! All time is amazing of course, but third grade has such charm!

I hope you will remember this on days when it feels as though you can’t do anything right. Her comment was a blessing.
