Monkey hugs. Monkey hugs. Monkey hugs. There are few things more special and meaningful to me than monkey hugs from the boy. Monkey hug time is one of those times where you just know he loves me. Sometimes he’ll give you that, ‘I love you Daddy’ look, and times where he’ll tell you with his words. But being able to feel how much he loves me…is priceless. I know I won’t get them forever; however I’ll take them for as long as they’re given.

It's All About You
It has been a tough few weeks back to school. For some reason, this year I just cannot get into the groove of things. The past few weeks have truly been the worst weeks of my teaching career. There is not one thing I can pinpoint, they all just run together. I have been trying to convince myself that education is where I am supposed to be, but it’s been tough.
Today, I went to get the boy and it was much later than usual. I was stuck in traffic and the time was passing by so fast. Every minute in traffic was one less minute with him. When I arrived at his babysitter’s house, I saw him run to the window and I could hear him screaming, “DADDY, DADDY!” I could not open the door fast enough! I opened the door and he tackled me so hard I almost fell over. He gave me the biggest, monkey hug I have gotten in a long time. He said, “My daddy, my daddy!” That moment in time made the last three weeks of hell COMPLETELY worth it. That moment in time reminded me of the reason why I do what I do. I do what I do not only for the kids in my classroom, but for the most important kid in my life. It’s not much to the average person. It was everything to me. Here’s to you Georgie…it’s all about you!
