Chuck D & Mr. T

Teddy “Oh for God sakes.”
ALB “Teddy, please don’t swear. It’s not nice. Swearing or cursing is when you use a bad word or say God’s name in a mean or angry way.”
Nelly “What is God?”
ALB “Well God is all around us and in our hearts, and we can’t see God but God loves us and helps us to be good and kind people…”
Nelly “Is God a witch?”
ALB “No, God is not a witch.”
Nelly “Is God a girl?”
ALB “I don’t know. ”
Teddy “I know!! God is half girl and half boy!”
ALB “Teddy, I actually think you are right and that is one of the most clear and concise descriptions of God’s “gender” I’ve heard.”

Not a great place to hide, Elfie.

Stanley celebrates Hanukkah and Christmas but no menorah lighting in the barn. And no eating Santa (who is made of hay).

Teddy was so thoughtful about arranging the fruit we brought in for his class and the paper white bulbs. I appreciate a beautiful display-makes everything more appealing. Go on Teds.

This is so sweet. I love the children’s classrooms. They make me so happy.

Teddy’s teacher Darrell has invited the girls to come visit School with Teddy. Teddy is all on board for showing them around his room.

The kids are always so happy to help out so I like to let them even if it slows thins down or makes a mess. It’s important for them to feel like they’ve been helpful and involved. Plus tiny tools are so cute.

We were given some balloons last week. The kids are still going crazy for them. It’s so cute how overjoyed they are by balloons.

Working on my writing about peace all day.
