I sent yesterday helping in my daughter’s kindergarten class, as I do a couple of times a month. I always have my phone to take pictures and in case my toddler’s sitter needs to get ahold of me.

As I was watching Lily do the day’s calendar less, I was blissfully unaware of what was unfolding in a kindergarten class in Connecticut.

I had helped prepare a Christmas craft while the kids did their centers work. I had 5 kids count to 100 for me, awarding 2 coveted smiley faces.

I had only begun to find out what was going on by mid-afternoon. I got a call from my Dad letting me know he was picking Lily up from school and wanted to know what she knew. She didn’t know anything, as they don’t watch TV.

I can’t help but think about that being Lily’s class. Lily…

Needless to say, I hugged her and Navy a little tighter, a little longer.
