Gabby made this giraffe the other day in class with me. It is such a privilege to watch her work. She is so good at seeing the whole picture. I am watching her grow up right before my eyes, and even venturing out to say that I might be a trusted buddy to her. I mean, she has been with me for 5 years now. We talk on and on while she works like we are old friends catching up every week. I like to hear the latest from all my kids. Occasionally I will point out a different pencil or tip to try, you know, so it seems like I am being a good teacher and all. And really? I get paid for this? (they don't know that I would be doing this for free if I could).
