Filling Buckets

Over the past two days, both Clara and Emma have done very nice things for others.

It's nice seeing or hearing about them in such a good way. While these things probably happen often hopefully, it's rare to catch them doing it or hear about it from another parent.

Yesterday, after Clara's class visited the Bookfair, one of her classmates was crying because she didn't want to leave her Mommy. Clara went over and held her hand. The girl asked Clara to sit with her and read her book and sit with her at lunch and Clara said yes. The little girl smiled and off they went.

Today, Emma went to wait for her teacher after the Donuts and Dads program and saw her friend crying because her dad was leaving. Emma gave her a hug a little toy that was attached to her backpack and the girl stopped crying.

They both talked about filling their friends buckets like the story they read at school, and now at home.
