T is for...Teachers!

Hi everyone, it's Becky! I'm linking up with the fabulous Blog Hoppin' gals for a week of Thanks! 

As I was putting Grayson and Urban in their carseats this morning, I instantly knew who I would choose for my "T" of thankfulness! Both of our boys have truly great teachers. When we called the daycare at the end of the summer to find out what class they were in, I believe I literally jumped for joy after hearing the good news! It is hard handing your children over to someone else who will be spending more time with them that day than you. But having individuals that you know will care for them and treat them with kindness and fairness makes it a little bit easier.  And I just LOVE the incredibly cute projects they make!

Can you even handle the cuteness?!

I know my boys are not angels, but when Urban dumps his cup of milk on purpose for the third time (he's a handful I tell you!), I know Miss Karen and Miss Jennifer will give him a consequence but still have kindness in their heart for him minutes later. They will also reassure me that his behaviors, although nothing like his rule-following brother, are age appropriate and something we can work on together. I know that Miss Becky will continue to help prepare Gray for kindergarten next year, and help him discover his own independence and confidence.

Having worked in daycares while going to college, I honestly feel as though their job is harder than mine. (They all have a special place reserved for them in Heaven!) I have no idea how Urban's teachers get a class full of two year olds to lay down on mats and take naps all at the same time! 

But in all seriousness, they are the ones who, in addition to Greg and I, will help guide them into becoming the respectful and polite little boys we all know they can be.

Thanks for reading, and be sure to check out what some other bloggers are thankful for!
