AHHHH My Sweet Little Hannah

This happened a few weeks ago but I forgot to blog about it when it happened......so, I will do it now. Hannah started kindergarten this year and is loving it. During the first week of school she came to me and told me that one of the girls in her class was having a really hard time and she wanted to draw her a picture. I said ok and got her a piece of paper and the crayons. She drew a cute little picture of two little girls(one was her and one was Breann). She drew the sun, sky and grass. She made some lines on the picture and wanted me to write some things for her. I of course was busy with something else but said okay but she would have to be quick. She told me to write "you are my bestest friend" I said "really, Hannah is she really your BEST friend? You just met her." she said "just write it mom". So I did. Then she wanted me to write "will you play with me at recess." and "I have two dogs named Koda and Mcduff and a turtle named Sandy." She continued with lots of other things but I told her we were out of room. She rolled her little picture up and put a little ribbon around it and put it in her backpack. I had completely forgetten she had done it until her teacher called later that day. My initial response when Mrs. Larabee called was "Oh, No Whats wrong!" She preceded to tell me that she appreciated sooo much what Hannah had done for Breann. Apparently Breann was having major separation issues and cried all day long at school and wouldn't leave Mrs. Larabees side. This obviously made it really difficult for her teach. She said when Hannah came in with that picture she asked if she could give it to her. Breann stopped crying. Hannah asked if she could come sit by her and Mrs. Larabee said that would be fine. They played at recess and she and Breann became instant friends. Mrs. Larabee just wanted to thank us for being so nice. She said she thought that was the nicest thing she had ever had a kindergartner do! I was so proud. I told her I wish I could have taken the credit but Hannah has always been such a sweet little girl. She just came that way. Mrs. Larabee informed me that Hannah has started a little phenomenon in her class. All the kids are now drawing each other pictures and writing little notes to each other. I am so proud to be her Mom. She was nominated for a "peace builder award" at her school(this is what helped remind me to blog about it). I hope she can continue to show concern for people around her and want to do things to make them feel better. I love her soooo much and am proud to say she is my daughter. By the way, did I say I was proud?
