In the classroom with my youngest

Today I was able to be Thomas's social studies teacher.  To be honest, I loved it!  I try to avoid middle school and am successful for the most part, but I always told Thomas I would take jobs if I could have him.  This particular teacher is also a friend, and I love American History.  I also feel that any days worked this early in the year are a bonus, as it usually doesn't happen that way.  Thomas was looking forward to having me.  I asked if I should act like I had never seen him before.  He said I shouldn't, but I kind of did anyway.  It's just so cute.  I love seeing him interact with his classmates, and overall things seem to be good for him this year.  I'm so grateful for this day!
