Today I picked up Derek from school early. I could not wait to be there and luckily they had finished early and were ready for their parents as well. As I entered the Kindergarten Playground his teacher greeted me at the gate with Derek and told me that he had a great day!! 
She also told me that he has been her big helper in class with a new student who does not speak any English. She told me that I should very proud of him. I am always proud of Derek but it is great to see others, especially his educators, able to see through his shyness and see what a wonderful little person he truly is. Anyways I walked away with my little boy on ‘Cloud 9′ knowing that he is just as spectacular of a person as I always knew. 
*SIGH* a little bit of peace in our home.
