what's new this week

1) Baby Gets Glasses
Damo got glasses today. If you ask me, he looks pretty cute in them, although he pretends that he's that much smarter

2) Sweet Middle School Student Makes Onesie
A couple of weeks ago, I was chatting with Ms. Hersh in her classroom and she introduced me to one of her 7th graders, Allie (no relation to Ms. Hersh). It just so happens that Allie is a very talented young artist who creates adorable mini ugly doll-type things. It is my opinion she is going to make it big one day. Anyhow, she came by my classroom yesterday and delivered a one-of-a-kind onesie, on which she had sewn one of her creations. I love it and was extremely touched by this gesture (keep in mind, most middle school students won't even say hello to a first grade teacher in the hallway). What a delightful and talented young person. It brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait to put baby Large Sweet Potato in it.
