Several months ago, I entered a contest for Dylan to win a box of figets. He won and we got a box full of cool stuff like stress balls, a wall walker (kinda like a sticky octopus that you toss on the wall and it crawls down), smiley face stick figure, this cool ball made of a hard rubber that Dylan loves to chew on and some other neat stuff. We had been working on his writing and I figured this would be a good time to get him started on thank you notes. Never in a million years would I have thought it would have such an effect on this lovely blogger.
Then, being the proud Mama I am, I shared this with several people including those people who's efforts made it possible for Dylan to write the note. His kindergarten teacher being one of them. She wrote me back that she had a rough year. She loves the kids but she was actually considering getting out of education but my email reminded her of why she does the work she does.
Sometimes I forget that it's the little things that make the difference. Now I have to get my ass in gear and sit down with him and write thank you notes for his birthday gifts. Oy!
*Name that movie!
