Big Man on Campus


I can't even believe you are starting Kindergarten next week, buddy.
You are so smart. And funny. And stubborn. And funny. And inquisitive. And funny. And caring. And naughty. And did I mention funny?

Your new teacher at the wonderful private school you will be attending tested you yesterday and came back into the interview all wide eyed and deer in headlights looking, like most educators are after spending a few minutes with you.

"Ummm he's exceptional. Like, of all the kids I've tested this summer... he's the best."

Whoa, did she really go there? Are you supposed to even say that out loud? I couldn't help but flashback to when you were 9 months old and we were at Nancy Bordon's house (she's an assistant principal) and you picked up a TIME magazine and she remarked about you being a genius baby.

I can't wait to see how you grow and develop this year Gabe! You've begun reading and writing, and now we get to partner with your caring teachers to keep developing your mind and your heart. I pray that you keep your curious little spirit and we can be patient with you to help you learn the answers.

I love you Gabers.
