Teacher Appreciation

As a teacher, I know how much "teacher appreciation" really means.  Teachers put in hours upon hours of underpaid, sometimes unnoticed work for kids that they have to eventually say goodbye to.  Teacher appreciation involves the small moments of thankfulness that make all of the time and effort worthwhile. 

This is the first time I have been on the other side of the table.  I now know how truly difficult it is to hand your child over for the majority of their day.  I know how much emotion, trust, and effort goes into being a parent.

In my wildest imagination, I could not have foreseen the admiration and respect and LOVE I have for Parker's teachers.  Ms. Hilary and Ms. Lisa have been the first "outsiders" to walk into Parker's life and love him and believe in him.  He is 5 months old...and they are two
of his biggest fans.  There are truly no words to express how appreciative I am for that...because we don't have room in our lives for anything less.  These ladies have set the bar very high...and have helped me realize that I need to be more trusting of the people around Parker...because you can't help but fall in love with him!
