Missing Again??

Yes, I am back again with no excuses or explanations other than I just was not writing.  I wasn't even looking at the blogs that I follow.  I can now show you the gift that I made for Blackbird Designs Exchange.  I just arrived.  Because it was an international delivery, I was afraid that it might not arrive in good time if I did not send early.  I posted on the first and it arrived today.

Monday mornings I go to school.  I help one of the kindergarten teachers at our local elementary school.  Essentially I give the little kidletts some extra practice to help them develop pre-reading, basic reading, and basic number skills. 

Today was a wonderful day.  While I was working with him, a little boy, one of the youngest in the class, learned to count by 10's and subsequently learned to read all numbers between 1 and 100.  When he caught on to counting by 10's, his face lit up with the excitement of the ah-ha moment.  I will always remember and treasure that moment; it was like a light went on in the room.  After that,  he was able to read all the big numbers and every time, his face lit up with pure joy.
