Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

My son came up to me after school today, threw some tissue flowers at me and said, "here - these are for you."  I've never said I'm thankful for my son's sentimentality!  What I am thankful for is his teacher who happens to be a male teacher with not much of an artistic flair.  He gets his art taught by the prep teacher.  Somehow he managed to find a pattern for some really cute tissue flowers which they put together with pipe cleaners and made for Mother's Day.  I think it's pretty special that this teacher would recognize that moms appreciate the sentiment, no matter how little, when given (so thoughtfully as with my son) by one's child.  Kudo's for teachers who step out and attempt something new for the benefit of someone else.  Thank-you Mr. K.  (Next you can maybe work on the delivery of the flowers?)
