One Happy Teacher!

He is in the 3 yr old classroom this year. Last year he was in the two’s classroom. He wasn’t making eye contact, he wasn’t listening, he wasn’t talking. If you aren’t a mother, there is simply no way you would understand the stress that this can bring. I’ve been there! I’ve seen those days…
