Hello Friends! Can you believe it's October?! I love this time of year .. the holidays are coming round the corner and there's pumpkins, turkeys and candy canes to look forward to! :)
Lemme share something that I thought was so sweet. :) My little Bodhi had been telling me that he did not want to go to school anymore. He was not enjoying his time there .. which broke my heart when he told me what had happened. I took him to school a little early since I had wanted to speak with his teacher. And as Bodhi and I were standing outside waiting for the doors to open to the hallway .. a little girl walked up to him so kindly and gently said, "I love you Bodhi." Wish you could have heard her .. it was the sweetest thing.
I tried not to peek and look at them, but I just coudn't resist to see what Bodhi's reaction was. He looked up at me like he didn't know what to say, and so I said, "Awww Bodhi, that is so sweet." :) He nodded. lol. She then said, "Hold my hand Bodhi." And I have to just tell you ... this little girl was NOT demanding or being pushy .. she was just being as gentle and soft as could possibly be.
So she took Bodhi's hand and when the doors opened .. they walked hand in hand all the way to their cubbie holes to hang their backpacks. Gotta tell you ... I literally had tears welling up ... this little girl made Bodhi feel so loved on a day that he needed that encouragement. What an Angel she was. :) Times like those ... I wish I had a video recorder in hand. LOL!!!
Alright .. annnnnyway .. hehe .. it's time for a new sketch over at CLP and here's my take ...
Image: Sugar Nellie (it's about time I've used this! lol!)
Papers: MME
Hope you'll come by and join in on the fun! Thank you so much for visiting me .. I love it when you do. I'll see you again soon!
Hugs,
Elise
