On Friday, once again, we went to another opening night for a Disney movie...sans kids. We always joke about how we are usually the only adults in "kid" movies without kids, but that's our life for now and we love it.
Big Hero 6 was such a good movie! Not to mention the amazing short before the movie started. I laughed and cried during both. Disney just has a way with my heart!
Saturday was such a special day. C and I got to participate in the 2014 Houston Buddy Walk. We got to help celebrate and support two special students of mine. We have been looking forward to this day for awhile! On Friday, I had my class make posters and take pictures with our buddies. It is so sweet to see them love and support their classmates. My two little loves did such an awesome job at the walk. They are such troopers as they both get sensory overloaded by loud noises and crowds. I was such a proud teacher as I watched so many people support and celebrate this amazing population and their amazing abilities. I sure do love my kiddos and their amazing families, who entrust their babies to me.
It's a beautiful thing when a passion and a career come together. Being a special educator is one of the toughest jobs out there, but those precious kiddos make it all worth it. I will always take every opportunity to celebrate my students. I hope I teach them half of what they teach me.
With love,
