... and one of my proudest moments, I may add!
L was getting ready for bed. I was tracing 34 gingerbread men on brown paper bags to send home to her classmates for coloring and decorating so I can create a huge gingerbread-man-chain for Mrs. O for Christmas.
L was asking what I was doing and I told her what the plan was and that I am asking all parents to donate $10 so we could purchase food and other items for the class Christmas Party and to get a gift card for her teachers so they can buy supplies for class.
This is the conversation that followed:
L: I KNOW!!! I KNOW!!! (racing to the play room to grab her current MOST PRECIOUS and MOST VALUED possesion, her $10 Gift Card from Target which the Tooth Fairy had left for her.)
L: I will not buy a toy or a game for me with this money, I will buy a gift for Mrs. O for Christmas.
M: (completely in shock!!!) Really?
L: YES!!!!
M: WOW Lillie, this is VERY special! That is so kind of you! WOW!!! (inside I was already crying my eyes out ... my proudest moment ever!!!)
L: And I already know what to buy her!
M: What is that?
L: Earplugs so she doesn't have to listen to the loud kids anymore because she says she feels a headache coming on when we are too loud, a speaker because some of the kids don't hear her when she says NO sometimes, a watch because she is always running out of time and pretty flowers because she loves them.
M: WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW ...
Sometimes I feel super extra lucky to have these wonderful girls in my life. This made my month!!!
I LOVE you Lillie-Bean Czarnota!!!!
