It's funny how sometimes looking at you two, I can see glimpses of who I am staring right back at me. The good, bad and the ugly. It's a good reminder to try to be more mindful of my actions! But today, Aidan reminded me of me when I was a little girl. I used to loooooove pretending to be a teacher! When I was a little girl, I would line up my Care Bears, Cabbage Patch Kids and baby dolls down the hall and fuss at them like I was their teacher. I wrote lesson plans and had 2 big chalkboards in my room on which I taught my class. I had a whistle for when I took them out to recess- I'm talking the whole nine yards! Because my mom, your Grammy, was a teacher she gave me old teacher manuals and books. I loved it! I loved school!
Aidan, you love school so much right now! You love to color the letter booklets and sing the songs. At the book fair right before Christmas you wanted the teacher's pointer and Daddy bought it for you! Tonight, you started trying to teach Andrew and he was wanting no part of it!! Your feelings were really hurt because I think you really want to be able to boss someone around! I suggested that you go to your room and teach your Toy Story characters. You loved that idea and spent the next hour teaching your class with only one short break to ask us to get down your chalkboard from upstairs! You said, "Of course I need my chalkboard! What kind of teacher doesn't have a chalkboard?" Gosh- you remind me of me so much tonight! I hope you follow your dreams and they all come true! Love you little man!
