Volunteering

I've been volunteering in Amelia's school all week for about 90 minutes, sometimes more depending on the day. The teacher has been doing an ornament every day so I've been going in at 10 am when they are done with their block (gym, art, etc.) and doing those with the kids. Yesterday was one of those days where I went back in at 2 pm to finish the ornament and then I can just take Amelia home at the end of the day rather than waiting in the carpool line. As she and I were walking down the hall, she looked up at me and said, "I really like it when you come to my classroom. It warms my heart." There was a lot of noise in the hallway from kids heading to the bus line and she said, "I am afraid you couldn't hear me. I said it really warms my heart." I smiled at her and said that I heard her and that I liked seeing her too. And my heart was just melting. How sweet!
