Parent/Teacher Conference

It's one thing for a parent to think their own child is a genius...is a good friend...is polite. But it is another thing entirely for someone else (especially one in a position of authority) to feel the same way. That is exactly what happened tonight. Isaac's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Butler, has raised 5 boys and been teaching for 20 plus years. She knows her stuff. And she apparently knows my son as well. She had nothing but praise for Isaac...as a person and a student. And I may be more proud of how he carries himself as a little boy...he is kind, generous, loving, and RESPECTFUL. I am so proud of my son. I know it's only kindergarten, but there are some parents who do not get to leave that classroom feeling as I do. There are some parents who don't even show up. And there are some parents who won't walk away with a sense of duty to make their child better...no matter how well the conference went. I promise, Isaac, that I will ALWAYS guide you to be a better boy, a better young man, and a better man. I love you so very much. And could NOT have been prouder of you. Love, mommy.
