What a wonderful thing! Your daughter sounds like a lovely, kind girl.

I’ve just found your blog, and am looking forward to reading more.

As for half-eaten lunches, yes we get them, but I’m happy about it. As a veteran lunch-thrower-outer, I’m glad to see how much (or, more likely, how little) my girls have eaten. I also get cues as to what they like and don’t like, so that less of it ends up in the bin.

What a sweetie Bailey is… to willingly (even at that age) interact with someone who is perceived as “different” is a huge thing. And I can tell you, first hand, that it means the world to that little girl and her parents.

That’s awesome. What a great kid.
I would’ve freaked out over that note too. My mind immediately jumps to the Worst Case Scenario. I’m sick like that.
And, my oldest 2 kids are the same way as yours…my son is scary smart and my daughter is smart but in a different way, and has to work much harder for her grades. So I understand what you mean about not knowing what’s the norm.

How wonderful. She must have a great role model for a mom.

I too have gotten notes with little to no information, only to have the teacher praise my daughter and tell me what a good and happy girl she is. Umm, can you send out non cryptic notes for that? k, thx!

WTG Bailey! I am sure that she will excel in sign since she is so interested in it!

Oh my. Your girl made me cry (in a good way). What a doll!

I’ve wanted to learn ASL since I found one of those business cards with the alphabet on it when I was 6.

P.S. We used to get in trouble for NOT bringing our left-over lunch home, but we’re talking unopened granola bars and stuff. Or my quarter-sandwiches would end up, um, rotting in my coat pocket or that teeny, tiny pocket that no one ever remembers in my backpack… We were little jerks.

This is so cool! I truly think sign language should be a required second language at the elementary level.

And can we trade kids? Because my 9-year-old may not survive when I get home to him today.

I’m with Marinka. Don’t blame yourself, blame the teacher Kidding. Glad it was just related to how incredible she is. No surprise, I mean, she is your daughter. xo.
