Happy News



At Miss Swendy's Day School, they have a "special person" each day. On Maddy's first day of school, she came home with this taped to her back. I'm not sure how they determine who is the special person that day - maybe they just rotate through the kids in the class . . . Whatever the case, Maddy has quite a few "special persons" taped to her door.





In the past month or two, Maddy has been making "special persons" for everyone. Sometimes she takes a scrap of paper, a piece of wrapping paper, a wrapper from a candy, a picture from school - anything that she can then put tape on all four sides and tape to your back. Then she tells you "you are a special person. You can be the leader." As you can see, we have them taped on doors all over the house.

On Scott's birthday last month Maddy made a "special person" for Dad and put it on the back of his jacket. The next day, when he went to pick her up from school, one of the teachers said "what's that on your back?" He didn't realize that Maddy's work was still there. He explained that Maddy has been making these for us all the time. They laughed really hard. What a funny, clever girl I have.

That is adorable, and so sweet that she wants others to feel as special as she does:)
