Diego brought a red ribbon home from school today. Now, usually the color red is a bad thing; it means stop, there was negative behavior that needed to be addressed more than 2 times during the school day.
Today however, the color red stands for something very good! The ribbon has this written on it: #1 Meijer In Partnership With Lenawee County Schools Student of the Month
Written in Diego's daily report was, "Great Morning! Diego was selected Student of the Month from the entire Second Grade. Yea!"
My heart swelled with pride, my eyes filled with tears as I hugged Diego and told him how proud I am of his hard work and effort. He had no idea he was working toward this incredible award. He said simply that he was, "Doing all his work, listening to the teacher, and following directions"; that's why he received the red ribbon.
He looked at me and asked, "Mom, what happened to your eyes?"
And yet another lesson, the one about a mother's tears of joy.
