O

I titled this blog simply o. In the sequence of xoxo the o is for hugs. I received my first hug from the kids on Tuesday. It truly made me fall in love with my kids all over again. It was a turning point for me. It made me feel like the kids had finally let me into their hearts. I almost teared up. We were in the library and it was time for me to go. I told the kids bye and to be good because I would not to see them for another week! I have sub jobs that I had already arranged for the rest of the week. The littlest boy came up and gave me hug. It was one of those really big hugs that kids give. I was standing and he didn't even come up to my waste! Soooooo cute. When he let go I waited to see if anyone else wanted a hug. No one came. I was satisfied with my first hug so I turned and reached for the door. Then all of a sudden I hear, "Wait!" I turned to a mob of 10 little people running to give me a hug. It is these moments I live for. It's Wednesday evening and I miss them like crazy!
