Yesterday was my last day with my lil guy at school. He is so very ready to move forward on his own. Oh the progress he has made!! When I told him I was leaving he was quite upset and sputtered about how he loved me and I couldn't leave -- but finished up with "Well you have to give me a letter".
I had no idea what he meant by that -- but it planted a thought in my head. I decided I would give him a goodbye card. Last week I took a couple of 'selfies' of the two of us together and made him a little card .. on the front I wrote "Oh the places you'll go" and inside I wrote "Kid you'll move mountains" (quotes from Dr. Seuss). I don't know if he'll even remember he asked for a "letter" but I feel good about doing this for him.
This lil guy WILL go places and move mountains and I am so very happy I got to spend these last few months helping him find his feet - so to speak.
And now I am ready to go places and move my own mountains.........
(there is always another child waiting just around the corner -- a child who needs to find their independence... their confidence )
That's a great idea. Even if he doesn't remember that he asked for a letter, he'll have it to remember!
