Last night the girls and I were sitting and relaxing (Kaylee's been so worried that she'll catch the stomach virus that she has made her stomach hurt, silly girl) when my phone rang. I recognized the number as Kaylee's school so I answered it (sometimes, when the girls and I are having 'special' time, I don't answer because I feel they deserve my complete attention). It was Kaylee's teacher, Mrs. Harmon. Mrs. Harmon was also Alexis's 1st grade teacher and we loved her! I had sent Mrs. Harmon an email yesterday morning to let her know that Alexis had come down with the stomach flu and asked her to keep an extra eye on Kaylee (I'm sure she didn't want to clean up a mess!). She thanked me for the heads up...but anyway back to the call. She said she was trying to call all of the parents to touch base before Parent/Teacher conferences in a few weeks. But she asked how Kaylee was feeling since she had gone to the nurse at school that day. Kaylee has frequent tummy aches...the girl needs more fiber and most of the time I am on top of it, but not recently and that coupled with worrying about catching the stomach flu...she spent part of her recess in the nurses office. So, I let Mrs. H know that Kaylee was fine and that her tummy aches are frequent. I also mentioned that Kaylee just loves school. That brought on many, many compliments about Kaylee and her performance in school. She said she is a very well behaved girl, always doing what she should be doing. She said that she uses Kaylee quite a bit as an example for the rest of the class. "Class. Look at what Kaylee is doing. Let's all do it like she is." I could not be more proud of that little girl! It's always so wonderful to hear other adults praising your children. It's like an affirmation that all the hardwork is beginning to pay off. Not that the hardwork has ended, but to know that we've built a good foundation is very satisfying.
Kaylee's a wonderful child and we are so blessed to have the responsibility of raising her.
