You at 6

Emma- When you walked through the door the first thing you told me (note you are 6 years old). Grandma when I got to your neighborhood I started to feel real sad. I asked you why and you said, “because I don’t get to see you much and I really miss you.” Later the next day, when we were playing you told me, “when I have kids I’m going to bring them to your house”. My heart was so full from all the sweetness that comes from your heart towards me. You told me this was your 2nd sleepover you’ve had in your life and they were both relatives! You were slightly disappointed when you said, but I assured you there would be more at other friends homes some day. Your Mom told me that each day you have to bring an item from home, that starts with a letter of the alphabet. This particular day the letter was J but you had not brought anything. You asked the teacher for a yellow stickie. You wrote on it, the word, JOKE, and you stuck it to your forehead. You proceeded to tell a joke and there you had ‘created’ your own solution. The teacher was very impressed (and I am too)! That’s very high level thinking and problem solving.
