The Week in Review

This guy got a new tooth.

This girl lost her first tooth.

And this girl graduated from her first year of joy school.  All the moms took turns remarking on the progress and strengths of each child. When it came to Anna-boo I noticed that most of the comments were in regards to her sensitive soul; she's often seen comforting an upset child or offering her favorite toy/snack/shoe to her friends.  Her loyalty to her family has always been evident, I was just so happy to see that she could share her talents with people outside our family. Her other teachers also remarked on how observant she is, and it's true, this little girl speaks crazy truths that catch me off guard.   Anna was born with skills that I hope to acquire someday.  After all was said and done and we were back at home I asked her if it was fun or embarrassing to have people talk about her. She said she felt embarrassed.  I asked her if she doesn't like it when I say nice things about her, and she looked at her feet and said, "you can if you want to".
