Warm Fuzzies

A sweet thing happened to Alexis today, and it made me smile.

At Ty's school, there are no buses since it's a Charter school. At pick up time, the teachers take each child by hand directly to their parent's car and so each afternoon, we get a quick "hello, have a good afternoon" type conversation with the teachers. A few days ago during pick up, Alexis jumps up and hands Ty's teacher a stack of blank deposit slips from the bank that she'd picked up while we'd been there earlier. His teacher says, "Oh? These are for me?" And Alexis says, "yes!" Then, I said, "It's no big deal... she's just playing."

I'd forgotten about this until today at pick up. When she opened my van door, she says to Alexis, "I have something for you!" And she hands her back the deposit slips - but this time, they have stickers and smiley faces on them.

Wasn't that the sweetest thing? Alexis isn't even her student and she took time out of her day to make her feel special and important, too, not just her big brother. It was pretty neat. And Alexis of course, was over the moon with happiness!
