My morning was blessed by one of those endearing kindergarten moments that makes you smile from the inside out. One of the little guys who is a bit rambunctious and energy-filled (and very interested in expending his energies in creative ways) has been so sweet to me this week. Yesterday he presented me with a treasure: a glass bead that he was oh-so-proud to give me! Love it. I'm going to make a necklace of some sort out of it so he can see how much I love it. And today? He tells me this story:
"Mrs. Carlson, when I grow up I'm going to be a person that studies and trains monkeys!"
I told him I thought that was a fabulous plan!
He says, "Yes, that way I can keep you safe from all the monkeys."
I am not totally sure what he is talking about, but the sentiment is so very sweet in that kindergarten kind of way! Love that boy. And I love that chivalry is alive and well in the next generation.
Later in the day, my reading group was delightfully interrupted by a visit from Rhubarb the Moose, a local baseball team mascot. Sadly, no pictures...but it was a treat! My kindergarteners were lost to me after that. I have nothing in my repertoire to compete with a giant moose. Oh, wait. I think Rhubarb is a reindeer??? I dunno. He's a 6'7" furry guy with big antlers and a very happy face.
And, today I received truly one of my all-time favorite gifts! My sweet friend made this pin for me:
Uh, huh! Yes, she MADE that!! I can't even find words for how excited I was! I love it so much. How can you not love it?
Monkeys + reindeer/moose + cookies = A Happy Wednesday!
