Gentleness

We're back!!! So sorry to all of you that look forward to the Julianna blogs. The past couple months I have not had the energy to make dinner, clean, much less do a blog- but we are hitting the 2nd trimester and we are back!!!
Last week we got a note from Julianna's teacher, Mrs. Johnson, that Julianna was receiving a special award in Chapel this week. But it was a surprise- so Jason and I didn't say anything all week. This morning I went to Goosie's school and waited for her in the Chapel- she was very surprised to see me. She said "Mommy, why are you here?" I just shrugged my shoulders- I didn't want to give it away. The classes and the parents sang about 3 praise songs (the kids danced to them). Then it was time for the T-K classes to get up and perform a song that they had been practicing. I was "Jailhouse Rock"- about Paul and Saul. She has been singing the song (with the moves) all week. After that Mrs. Johnson got up and presented Julianna with a certificate of gentleness. Mrs. Johnson said that Julianna has such a gentle spirit and that she is so kind. I thought that "gentleness" was such a neat word to describe her. As a parent I would describe her as kind, loving, funny, smart, goofy- many things but I so appreciate that her teacher notices something new and special. We will always remember today- the day our girl was recognized for her gentleness.
