Last week Garrett and I thought it might be fun to send a small box of chocolate to his teacher. Of course I did not want to be a kiss up the first month of school- HA HA plenty of time for that --SO we decided it would be a random act of kindness and Garrett would sneak the box onto the desk without her seeing- we rehearsed this a lot.
When Garrett got home I asked him how it went and he said that she saw him. Being the shy guy he is he tried to convince another girl to do it for him. Unfortunately she refused. And in the meantime he lost the opportunity to run it to the desk without being seen.
After she wrote a thank you I sent an email about it and this is what she sent back.
It was all very cute. He was standing in the back room all by himself holding that little box with this little smile on his face and I thought it was his sharing or something. He ran and put it in the basket (where the kids puts things that come from home for me to see) and told me I couldn’t look at it until he left that day. It was very sweet.
Next time I will have to remember that I am working with a shy five year old!! It did give me a laugh though.

I can visualize Garrett trying to pull something off like that. His cute little face being the honest boy that he is trying to do something for no one to see. I'm sure that teacher will remember the scene for a long time.
