I had the pleasure of talking with an adorable kindergartner recently. He had a light spray of freckles, curly hair, and the cutest little personality! As we conversed and got to know each other, I asked about his best friends. He mentioned his best guy friend, who is his BFF at this point, and then started laughing as he brought up a girl in his class. Obviously he loved her company and wanted to describe his reasons, so he asked in his precious five year old voice, "Is it okay if I use a pwivacy wud?" Realizing that he was trying to get permission to say something that might get him in trouble, i said it was fine, and that I appreciated his asking. Continuing his endorsement of his female friend, he said, "She's so funny that when she tells a joke, it makes me pee my pants!" And he rolled with hilarity. I giggled right along with him and felt grateful to have had the chance to get to know this little child a little bit better before the school year comes to an end.
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!
