Tantrums and Sweet Moments

Kimmie's teacher is currently on maternity leave, so Kimmie has a new, long-term substitute teacher. Amazingly enough, the first couple of weeks Kimmie was really good. She came home almost every day with a note that said "Great day." We were like, "WOW!"

It didn't last, though. By the third week the tantrums and grumpies had set in. I offered suggestions to the new teacher and apologized for Kimmie being so much trouble. Her new teacher responded with this comment:

". . . She is a very sweet girl and for every tantrum she throws she has just as many sweet moments. She does a good job balancing them out."

I love the way she describes Kimmie. We always think of Kimmie as being sweet, but sometimes I wonder why when she can be so grumpy and throw hugh tantrums. This new teacher described Kimmie perfectly. It's the sweet moments that we remember.

She's our sweet little Kimmie girl.
