It really helped her to have something that she could read over and over again. She knew all of her friends were thinking of her and wishing her back to class soon. On top of that, Ms. Dennis emailed me the week before and planned a special trip to the house to visit her before she came back to school.
I pretended to call Princess down for another round of medicine and as she came down the stairs she spotted her beloved teacher. She was so surprised and so excited. There was no keeping her calm, but I figured it was ok to just let her have this moment.
Ms. Dennis asked for a tour of the house and Princess turned into a real estate agent before my eyes and gave her the grand tour. She opened what seemed like every cabinet door and showing off even the rooms I hadn't cleaned. The tour wasn't complete without a viewing of the "secret trash can." I had no idea that the small waste bucket in the cabinet under the stove held such value.
Ms. Dennis's favorite room? The room fit for a princess no doubt. Her majesty was ready for her teacher to move right in and even pulled out the hide-away bed for her.
Ms. Dennis is not only an incredible teacher, she is just a wonderful person to be around. Her energy and happiness was contagious. In her short visit to our house, she raised all of our spirits. She had so much love in her heart that Prince even got to squeeze in a hug or two.
Our little girl was so happy to have her teacher visit her house. The visit wore her out, but is was oh so worth it.
