And the Doctor Said...

When I pick Ian up at school, his teachers always tell me how sweet he is and how much they love his smile. Well, this isn't news to us, but it is great to hear. When I picked him up last Thursday, he was just waking up from his nap which can be disruptive to the rest of the children since I'm usually one of the first to pick up. (We go to their classroom for drop off and pick up.) There usually isn't time to chat long because other parents are there. So, that night I received this email from Ian's teacher, Mrs. Brigitta:

Clai,

I was sitting here tonight thinking about our day today and I remembered something I forgot to tell you about Ian. It brought the biggest smile to my face. We have been singing the five little monkeys jumping on the bed song and we were using a finger puppet that has a mitten with five monkeys, a mommy and a doctor figure.  I gave Ian the doctor today to hold.  (We rotate it all around.). So we are singing. And its mostly me singing.. "Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bonked his head. Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said.." I pointed at Ian and like he was cued... He sang loud and clear. "No more monkeys jumping on the bed."  It was PERFECT and absolutely amazing and cute.  Maria and I looked at each other in awe. We have some of it on video. I haven't looked at it yet as I left my camera at school but I'll get you a copy if it came out!!!

Ian is so smart and so attentive and such a joy!!!! We love having him in our class!!

Have a great weekend. We will see you Tuesday.

Love
Brigitta

Now, if we could just get a note like that about Clare!
