I love "warm fuzzies"



As a mother it is so wonderful to get “warm fuzzie’s” about your child.

I sat down to my computer tonight tired and frustrated with my kids. I opened my email and saw something titled “Just so you know”. YIKES! Most of the time I don’t want to know. However, her words brought so much joy to my heart. I just wanted to share-

****I changed the names in this story for you locals*****

Hi Amanda:

I just wanted to share a little story with you because sometimes we have know idea how aware our children are or if our words resonate in their hearts and minds.

Today I worked in Ms. Fleck's class. As we were cleaning up and getting ready to go home a little boy approached “Ben” and said "you walk funny". I overheard this and must admit that for 1/2 second wanted to glare the boy down. BUT before I could get a word or stare out, Olivia said "That's because Heavenly Father made us all different." She said it with absolute and perfect knowledge and with a calm and sweet voice. I just looked at her and said "That's right, Olivia."

Luckily we were ready to go home because I could not hold back the tears. All day long it has made me tear each time I think of her sweet spirit and her perfect understanding. She handled a situation perfectly and so much better than I could have. Please give her a big hug and know that your teaching and love have resonated in her mind and her heart. I was deeply blessed today by her words and her kindness and so was “Ben”. I just wanted you to know. Thanks!

By the way, she is a very good student and very bright...but I'm sure you already knew that.

Have a great day! See ya soon!

This is truly precious! I just want to jump through the screen and give that little cutie a hug. I can tell she's taking after her mom. Amanda, you are just as kind and loving. I'm grateful that my life was blessed with your example!
