Ok, so I am off work today and I REALLY do have house work that needs to be done, BUT.. I just thought this little story was to cute not to share
Here's the background: I recently (this week) landed the job of my dreams. It's a job that I could only hope and pray that God bless me with, and through much prayer He did!! I am teaching a class of three year old's at the most God loving, teaching, serving school I have ever had the priveledge of knowing! We came to find Ivy League Academy this past spring while on the prowl for a school for our son to start first grade! We wanted him to have the best possible education around and believe me we found it. I will post more on the school later, but to get on with "The Lone Child"...
I substituted at the school this week, and yesterday afternoon I had "after school care" duty. I had Kindergarden through Third graders and we were watching a movie and chatting quitely. Of course my Aden had to be front and center of the class so he stuck out his bottom lip and pouted "Mommy, can I sit with you please" (of course this was at the teacher's desk at the front of the class). I just couldn't resist this oppertunity to sneak in some sunggle time with my baby while on the clock so I oblidged. Of course this got the attention of the other students, and slowly three little desk started sliding toward me (I think they thought I wouldn't notice). So we sat there talking for a few minutes, when one little girl asked "Mrs. Reed, does Aden have a brother" to which Aden answered "Nope" little girl "any sisters?" Aden "Nope, I'm a lone child!!" I just thought that was so cute and couldn't help but chuckle to myself, but the conversation continued... little girl "does that mean you have your own room?" Aden "Yep, and a queen size bed!!!"
What he didn't tell her is that he would rather sleep on the couch!!!
