It's hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day before Christmas Break. This year has flown by. Most of my students were thrilled with the Christmas gifts they received at school today. There were a few who turned their noses up....that drives me crazy. It's sad to see kids as young as kindergartners being unappreciative. I guess it's actually annoying to see any kid like that. I reread the book "The Crayon Box that Talked" before I had the kids open the book and their new box of crayons. It was so adorable to see them. Several of them said, "OOOOHH, my favorite book!" That was sweet. I have several students who come from low income families and I pray that they have a wonderful Christmas. I plan to send them all a Christmas card over break. I bet they would love to receive a card in the mail...even I like that!!
When Carly and I finally got home from running errands in town we made Rudolph with her handprints and footprint. I plan on putting it in a frame and sitting on my kitchen counter. Not sure if anyone else appreciates this art, but I love it. I am really starting to miss my little bug. It's not that I don't spend enough time with her, because if I'm not working then I'm with her. But she has been sick for the last month. First and ear infection with eye infection, then stomatitis, stomach bug, and now ear infection with double eye infection, plus she's teething. She has been so fussy in the afternoons and has been getting up in the middle of the night. It breaks my heart! I know she feels miserable, but there is nothing I can do for her. I can't wait to see her play and smile again. She'll smile every once in a while now, but it doesn't last long.
Tonight mom came over and we made ornaments for daycare and teacher gifts. I think they turned out really nice. I kept coming up with more people to give them to until we ran out of ornaments. I have 24 to give away and mom has 8. It worked out pretty well, mom tied the bows while I painted the initials. I hope everyone likes them. Homemade, perosonalized gifts are my favorite kind to give....although I know the most important gift of all is the gift of love.
