A heartfelt shout out

Preschool graduation May 2007.
This shout out goes to Miss Becky for taking my little red head and showing him patience, understanding, acceptance and above all LOVE.






Cooper really struggled with getting dropped off and would cause quite a scene. Becky was so wonderful with him.There were probably only a handful of mornings that she didn't have to completely hold him back to keep him from running out of her house. And his scene at graduation will be hard to forget. Becky never wavered with my little man and loved him unconditionally. And best of all ~ Cooper knew it!








Last day of preschool May 2008.
Miss Rhonda was given the "Cooper Challenge" and she stepped in like the pro she is. Rhonda too, had the privilege of the dreaded drop off. It was curb side at Rhonda's and there were many mornings that she physically had to take him from the van and carry him, dead weight and all, to her front porch. Rhonda loved my little Cooper completely. His curb side antics didn't slow down her devotion to my son. Again, despite his actions, Cooper could feel the love and acceptance from yet another patient teacher. And then around his 5th birthday, after a year of growth and maturity, Cooper was jumping out of the van and running to the porch with a "Bye Mom!!" thrown over his shoulder!

I can't say enough about these two amazing teachers that have given their all to Cooper. All this goes without saying anything of the incredible efforts that went into their classrooms. Truly, they are extraordinary teachers but beyond that is the love and security that they gave to a little man who needed an extra portion of it!

So here is my grateful shout out to Miss Becky and Miss Rhonda ~ from the bottom of this mom's heart.

You are so sweet Andrea. I feel blessed that moms like you bring your little angels to me and put your trust in me to take care of them and teach them. I am honored to be trusted with such treasures. Cooper was so much fun to get to know this year. He makes me laugh and makes me smile. Watching Cooper interact with his friends was truly touching.

Are the green flip flops that were left here Coopers? I was going to drop them off when I was over that way today but the traffic was crazy at the school and then the rain started pouring.

We love Miss Rhonda too! Ella asked me yesterday if Cooper could come over and play-she told me "Cooper likes the pool and Ella likes the pool"-so it could be a great play date. THANKS for the cute pics of Ella-I love that girl because she loves her food!
