Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

I must say, I’ve never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. I always ended up breaking up right before and would always end up alone. (how depressing?) But, this year, things are a bit different. I’m still alone, in the romantic sense, but I have many special Valentines-my daughter and my students.

My daughter has brought so much joy into my life, and I’m so fortunate to be her mother. My students all have a special place in my heart. (even the one’s that drive me crazy!) They all surprised me when they brought the teachers personal drawings, valentines, chocolates (yummy!) and even flowers! I honestly wasn’t expecting anything! I can’t even begin to describe how that made me feel. The small little gestures meant a lot to me.

One of the projects we did for Valentine’s day was create a poem that described what “Love is…”. After reading their responses, I was touched. I realized that children find joy in the smallest things. I wish adults were like that. Sometimes we tend to let life take over, and forget to appreciate the smaller things in life. Who would of thought a bunch of preschool age children would teach me a very valuable lesson. I learn something new everyday.

Well here is the poem. Enjoy!

A poem for Valentine’s Day, 2009

Love is hot chocolate with double marshmallows.
Love is my mother, love is my dad, love is jumping.
Love is monkeying around.
Love is my book.
Love is Maurice, the bear who I sleep with.
Love is.
Love is my abuela.
Love is my stuffed animal monkey-her name is Chloe.
Love is getting a Star Wars Lego set.
Love is having fun with my brothers, wrestling.
Love is Disney on Ice.
Love is making a great birthday for my mom.
Love is going on a walk with my dogs.
Love is my sister.
Love is when my brother gives me hugs and I give him hugs all the time.
Love is getting new shoes.
Love is backpacks.
Love is eating food, except noodles or macaroni and cheese.
Love is playing with Kallen, my little brother.
Love is growing up.
