Cecelia

She told me recently that her friend Amber (age 11) told her 

that most Kindergarteners do not start out the year

reading...

She told me that at Vacation Bible school she was the first 

one done when they had

papers to do...

She told me that she thinks that 

maybe she is very smart....

Big huge sigh from Mom

Yes you are kiddo

I have to watch how I word things carefully because 

Mom and Dad want you to be confident but modest.

We want you to be healthy, kind, friendly, and fair

We want you to be loved and liked.

It makes life easier that way.

We want you to be willing to try new things and

to not give up when things get a little tough.

So I told you that you are smart

in some things

But others are smarter at other things

That as you meet different people you will 

discover that some of them can do more then you can

and that some of them can not.

The truth is though

If you know Celia

You know she is special and amazing and funny and brilliant

When you are born in a parking lot

there is a certain expectation though that

you will be something special.

She has lived up to it everyday of her life
