Little Miss Sunshine

I have this little tiny girl in my class who cracks me up sometimes. She asked me if she could go to the library to get some new books for A.R., so I told her she could go if she hurried back. The kids were getting called out in small groups for dental screenings and I knew it would be her turn soon. So, no surprise, she was gone too long and came meandering back about 15 minutes too late to go out with her group. I told her it had taken her way too long, to which she replied, "I know, but I ran into some old friends and you know how that goes!" Hmm. What a kid. Then later she came up to me pointing to a word in a book and said she couldn't remember what that word was. I asked her to sound it out and she said, "Well I took a little tumble on my head this morning and it jogged my memory and now I can't remember some of the words." Sometimes all I can do is look at her and smile.
