Today I met with a fresh-faced first grader who has a warm personality and big blue eyes. As she told me about her family, she mentioned a relative who sounded important to her. Breaking into a smile, she said, "I have the cutest little cousin! He gets in trouble in pre-school because he falls out of his chair and can't sit still. He loves pickles and going to my grandma's farm." "I can tell you love him a lot," I said. "What's your cousin's name?" Shrugging her shoulders, the little girl said, "I don't know his name, so I just call him Nephew." Hmmmm.....what an unusual name for her favorite little COUSIN!
This is mostly a blog of everyday stories from my work as a primary school counselor. Some are funny, some are touching, but they all stand out as memorable moments. Sometimes I'll include photos, ideas that are working for me, and meaningful quotes. Enjoy!
