Nothing..absolutely nothing can replace the sheer look of pride when your anxious child runs toward you in the school yard and says, “I had such a good day today”. Then when you ask about the subject that earlier that morning brought her to tears and she replies, “It was amazing!” how can one even have words for that. I mean really! How can you capture that moment and share it with others because no words that I have could ever describe that very moment, but let me at least try.
The note explains, “I am sorry I am glum mom but I’m having kind of a bad day.”
Earlier this morning we started our day with our usual routine. I sang the kids my very own unique version of, “Wake up ..it’s time to wake up. Good morning to you..good morning to you..good morning my monkeys.. good morning to you.” We tend to sing a lot at our house – we find it quite therapeutic, although to be honest most days we don’t notice it because it’s just second nature. Anyway, we began the day the usual way – picking out clothes, getting hair brushed and packing bags.
