I am in awe. Feelings of joy, love, amazement bubble up at the thought of these precious little ones I taught during the 2007-2008 year. I had the joy and privilege of watching the miracle of each child growing week after week through dancing, singing, playing drums, waving the parachute, rocking, bonding with mom or grandma...and lots of dads this year, too! And the list goes on. My heart is overflowing just thinking about this time and place where parents brought their little babies, many still scrunched up and wrinkled, some taking their first steps in class to reach the bells or scarves. How lucky I am to have been there! The toddlers...some exuberant and others more reserved--both equally valid personalities and learning styles. I stand amazed at the preschoolers who taught ME so much about life. I thank them for reminding me to see life through a child's eyes a little more often. Their looking glass often makes things look crystal clear! The Young Child students moving into piano and string lessons. I'm fulfilled. Life is good! Thank you families for your amazing support of your children, lovingly guiding them, gently encouraging them to grow at their unique pace and make the most of this special time together. This experience simply cannot be replicated anywhere else. Thank you for bringing your children. I'm humbled to be a part of these fleeting days of their childhood.
