Special Helper

I got the following email from Brenna's teacher today:

"I just wanted to let you know that Brenna is an amazing friend to David in our class. I am so impressed with her. I think she will grow up to be a teacher or even a special needs helper. She is really gifted at helping others. She works on a level with him that is perfect, and she pays attention to how his “aide” works with him. Then she uses those things to work with him too. For example, she and I could not figure out something he was saying. So she said, “Use your BIG voice David”. Then we figured it out. She is wonderful! I try to break her away from helping him so often, but she truly loves it. She goes to him on her own.


I just wanted to let you know what a great helper you have (you probably already know it)."

It made my eyes a bit wet and my heart melt.  It is always wonderful to hear what Brenna is like when she's away from me, because I know that different traits come out than what I always see.  I am very proud of her and although admittedly biased, I believe that I have a very special little girl!  I look forward to seeing what kind of woman she becomes (but not too soon).
