Is this real life?!

YOU. GUYS.

Amigo numero tres. My special friend that couldn't be cracked. The locked box of crazy. I CRACKED THE EGG! I cracked the egg, scrambled them, made breakfast and served that breakfast to everyone. AND IT WAS THE BEST BREAKFAST EVER!

Some things that I hadn't experienced yet with this student: a full conversation/sentence with big kid words, manners or a calm reaction to a situation that wasn't easy for him to handle.

Today I experienced them ALLLLLLLLLLLLL

While we were outside at the playground for recess he came up to me and said "um teacher, my teacher I have something to say to you, thank you for letting me come out and play at the park today" I wanted to cry,  I don't think I spoke for a good 30 seconds because I was processing the words that were said to me. KIND WORDS! Words that were completely unprompted. Granted, he called the playground the park....but I would have accepted it if he had called it freaking Six Flags. It was amazing.

THEN! Then we were doing centers and he walked up to me and said "This person in my group is being kind of a bully to me, I don't like it" ummmmmm wait. You didn't hit them? You didn't scream? What is happening. Are you alright? Are you sick? Let me check your temp. Guys he was fine! He was just being rational.....I almost peed my pants.

AND FINALLY! We were walking to the office so I could brag on him a little to anyone who would listen, or not listen I didn't really care. Anyways, we were walking in and he said "You know what feels good? Being kind to people." Little dude you are so right! It does feel good.

Now. Do I expect this to continue? No..........I hope it does! But like there are just these special days that happen and they help the teacher breathe and continue to come to school and power through.

I needed this day. He needed this day. Everyone needed this freaking day.

Here's to having more of these days! Cheers
