A Proud Mama

So I wrote a little note to Kyan's teacher today, he told me the sweetest story about releasing their butterflies yesterday that I thought she would want to hear! I also needed some paperwork from her to help with Kindergarten registration and I wanted to let her know that Kyan adores her and Mrs. Arthur as teachers! Being a teacher, sometimes when you touch a kids heart, it is nice to hear from a parent, and both of his teachers have a special place in Kyan's heart, so I thought they should know!

She wrote me the sweetest message back, here is just a part of it:
"We have SO enjoyed Kyan this year - along with our whole class. Mrs Arthur keeps saying that when she finally has a baby, she hopes its a boy like Kyan, super smart and so cute!"

I felt honored for her to say that to me. Kyan is one of the best kiddos I know and of course we think he is awesome, but to have someone else say that they want their future son to be like him, brought tears to my eyes! He is a keeper for sure!

We are going to miss Preschool and his amazing teachers (can't believe it is almost over) - all of them (he has Mrs. Revord as his main teacher, Mrs. Arthur as next in command in the classroom, Ms. Murphy, the student teacher, Ms. Kristen, his extended day teacher, and a few more from extended day) They have all had an impact in making Kyan's first year at Preschool fantastic!

Next week is teacher appreciation week - if you have a child that goes to school and they have a wonderful teacher...THANK THEM! It is hard work! We have a special treat for the special ladies in Kyan's life - massages! A few of us pooled our money to go in on a little nicer gift! I know they are going to LOVE it! Tomorrow we are decorating the door/window, so that Monday they will have a BIG surprise waiting for them (plus it is part of the door/window decorating contest that the school does for teacher appreciation week)!

Thank you Mrs. Revord and Mrs. Arthur for the part that you play in shaping my son's future in education!
WE LOVE YOU!

This was so sweet. My best friend is a teacher and she has had such a hard week I would love to share this post with her. You are such an incredible mom and I am sure his teachers appreciate parents like you

This is such a sweet post. Your son is a wonderful little guy. That note is so special....one to keep and scrapbook for sure. Pul it out when he is a teenager and remember the sweetness of 5 years old. LOL. Love reading your posts Jenni. Hope you have a Happy Teacher's Week all next week. :)

That is awesome- like you said, you guys probably don't hear that you're appreciated nearly enough!

Kyan looks so cute/grown up in that pic, I like his hair that way.
I, too, must say that I wanted a boy who would be loving & so well-behaved as Kyan....we will see. : )

Kyan really is the sweetest, and most mature little boy I have ever seen (this coming from someone who has four nephews to brag about so don't tell them). I too would love to have a little boy just like him!!
