This Singing Kid Is My Life
This has been a long week, too. Life has been a tough go, and even some of the joyful things have been brutal. This kid is everything. He commits to singing these ABCs even it apparently causes him physical pain or something. Sure, I get very nervous singing in front of people. It’s sort of […]
The Coolest 4th Grade Teacher Ever
My son is only in first grade, but I believe I’ve met the coolest 4th grade teacher ever.
