I had my stealthy pocket-cam with me yesterday to capture part of my new favorite assignment. I love that the kids wave enthusiastically at each other from across the cafeteria--as if they hadn't just seen each other at recess or in the classroom. I also love that my little guy will wave to me from across the room--every few minutes just to check in and let me know we're still in there together. A poignant moment from yesterday: a little girl raised her hand, so I made my way over expecting to open a container or bring a napkin or spoon; instead she looked at me with sad eyes and said "I miss my mommy." I assured her that her mom was probably thinking about her too, and we chatted for a few minutes about happy things and she went back to her lunch, happily distracted from her sentiment moments before...
30 minutes of Wednesday awesome-ness.
Mr. M looks very content. I'm sure that little girl felt better after you talked to her. It's the caring that gets them through their day.

ReplyDeleteyou are the cutest lunch lady, what a fun treat for the kids! Especially that cute blond guy!
I KNEW you couldn't resist somehow being in that school again. But really? Can't say I blame you...that boy is dang CUTE!
ReplyDeleteAh, how can you stand it? Your biggest boy and your littlest one leaving at the same time!
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side, I bet watching the little kids is a lot of fun, like playing the piano in primary.
