Im'a bring you some HONEY

I have quickly noticed that this blog has turned into my classroom happenings, and the oh so funny things my "babies" say. But the things these kids say are just so darn sweet and innocent i'm afriad if i dont start writing it down i'll forget it!

As I write this I am laying in bed with blisters on my throat, fever, and no appetite. Sad I know, but hearing my children's concerns was so precious. I went to work yesterday sounding, and apparently looking, sick. The smallest tot of all (who also happens to have the biggest voice) came in promptly at 7:45am. She is always the first one and I have to admit I sometimes wish she would take her time walking to class, seeing as though the next batch of them dont come in until 8:00. She trots right up to me with her big smile (she has already tagged the name "smiley") and say's "Mrs. Staley you sound SICK! You know what helps? HONEY. Im'a bring you some honey tomorrow." I laughed as I watched this 5 year old try to take care of me and told her thank you that i am sure Honey would do just the trick.

As I drove in to work this morning (bad idea) I thought about what she had said. Maybe I should get some honey to make me feel better because i was definitely feeling my WORST. Small fry sure is true to her word. As I unpack my things in she sneaks and starts to unpack. I say good morning with hardly turning around. She and i go on about our things without saying much. I noticed she was unusually quiet, but watching me like a hawk! Then I saw why...there on my desk was 4 packs of HONEY from McDonald's and two Lemonade girl scout cookies.

I could have cried. 1. Because I realized right then just how much my children mean to me, and 2. just how much I apparently mean to them.


Now excuse me while I go soothe my throat with honey...
