Nobody liked the punch...

So, one of my students comes in every day and tells me all about the "parties" she had the night before.  

This little girl is just so sweet.  She is 7, but because of a learning disability, she looks and acts more like 5, maybe 4.  I am sorry to admit that I am not always the most patient person when it comes to children who don't act their age...but with this one, it's different...she's just too sweet.

Anyway...I've gotten to the point where now, I just ask her about her parties because I'm so interested to find out.  The very first time I asked her about her party (without her telling me about it first) was a couple weeks ago...

me:  So, Hanna, how was your party last night?

Hanna: (with no hesitation) it was alright, but no one liked the punch.

me: uh-oh...what did you drink then?

Hanna: we just could drink water and eat scrambled eggs and peppermints

hahah...I loved it!  

Since then, she has told me so many things about the drama involved in these parties...

Last night 3 of the littlest girls at the party laughed very hard and peed their pants, so they had to go home and the party ended early.

I think I love it so much because I just imagine her in her little bedroom sitting with all her dolls and stuffed animals having a party...every night.  She looks forward to that time all day.

This child's imagination is amazing...I would love to spend sometime in her mind to see what she sees...I bet it's beautiful!
