Emma’s school had “Open House” last week.  I always enjoy seeing all that is going on at her school.  We were able to see all of Emma’s work.  The class was filled with art and writing projects.  In particular was a writing assignment in which each student was asked what they would do if they had a hundred dollars.  I flipped through the book reading each students answer, American Girls topped the list.  Then I got to Emma’s.  She wrote that she would buy an electric toothbrush for her mom.  I had mentioned to David (not Emma) that I was thinking about switching to an electric toothbrush, the dentist says it’s better, blah, blah, blah.  A few days after that Emma asked me how much an electric toothbrush cost, to which I replied, ” I think about a hundred dollars.”  So my precious little girl thought of me, not herself.  I gotta tell you, it was hard to hide my eyes all welled up tears.  Not only were we able to see her doing well academically, but also that she is excelling in becoming a kind and generous person.  What more could a parent ask for?  She makes me so proud.
