Today I was feeling a little frumpy. I was wearing my oldest battered scrubs and my old tennis shoes. I got ready for the day and did my hair and makeup, but by the time I got into the school through the crazy wind and sleet, I looked pretty hammered.  I took two of my first graders to the library with their regular ed class, and we were waiting in line to check in our books, when one little girl smiled at me and said, (keep in mind these kids don't really know me, they have just seen me a few times dropping our kids off, etc.) "I think you're the best teacher ever!" I thanked her, and the little girl behind her looked at me and said, "You look so nice today! You are so pretty!" Funny how something so small can make such a difference in your day. Maybe we all need to work on being a little more like first graders. :)
