From one of my classes on Monday:
Isn't that fun? And sweet??
I have so much to say about this week's balancing act, but the ragweed is attacking me and I am past exhausted.
Let's leave it for now to say: I didn't realize how much I missed the students until I saw them again :)
And Clara is in SUCH capable hands while I teach classes. I don't know how we became so blessed. I feel very confident in her situation right now, which is a true answer to prayer. (You may remember my reservations from Monday.)
In fact, today was the first time I've picked C up from a nursery/day care type experience, where instead of immediately throwing herself at me, was quite content to stay on her teacher's lap, wave, and tell her bye-bye before then running to me :) I can't help but love it when other people love my daughter and treat her so well.
Off topic, but rambling on anyway ...
I think I've finally realized the reason I was so hurt by a friend a while back was not because she didn't like ME (which is what I originally thought), but because she didn't seem to like Clara as she was getting older and more independent and headstrong. I know so well how trying it is to be around a toddler with such a strong will, but that doesn't mean that I don't want people to love her for who she is - even if she's not the easiest youngster :)
It has been a good week so far, minus one crazy incident with my finger (I won't gross you out with the details).
Keep praying! Thank you for the love!
Aw that is great that C was content to be with her teacher - she was having fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't see how a Mom can not understand and be sympathetic to the fact that toddlers can be trying and headstrong. It'd kind of part of the toddler job description. Oh well - don't sweat the unfair judgment. I don't know little Clara but I am sure she is a joy. :-)
