i went to kai and max's SEP's this week. it was great talking to their teachers. i feel like they are in good hands at school. their teachers like them and want them to be successful. i know they are working hard and i love every morning that the all the students yell together,
"I AM A WINNER!"
almost everyday when my kids are on their way out the door, i remind them
"be the head, not the tail"
and i can tell they are trying hard to do that. i cherish my moments eating lunch with max when he tells me ways he helped someone, or about victor who bites, but when max stands by him he doesn't. it was fun to see the really proud, but-i'm-trying-not-to smile look that max got when i told him that i already knew what his teacher was going to say. she was going to tell me, "max is awesome!" and she did. every kid needs a cheerleader and someone that totally, undoubtedly believes in them. i wish time would slow down so i can enjoy this phase for a little longer.
it was a bonus when i ran across this hanging in the hall:
really, he has so many "bests" about him.
