Piper’s been her own little cheering squad lately. The girl’s got self esteem of steel. “And the crowd goes wild!” has become her catch phrase. I’m not sure where she picked it up but it seems here to stay. Wherever Piper goes and whatever task she accomplishes, that crowd is right there waiting.
This afternoon Piper buckled herself into her booster seat. All by herself. Then she shouted “And the crowd goes wild!” and gave herself a high five.
I heard a “And the crowd goes wild!” from the bathroom. I didn’t investigate.
She clears her plate from the kitchen table “And the crowd goes wild!” I mean, I’m happy. Don’t get me wrong. Piper’s certainly old enough for chores but this crowd seems pretty easy to please to me.
P.S. We’re meeting Piper’s new kindergarten teacher today! “And the crowd goes wild!”

lol – hope she keeps this attitude forever
Me, too! I’d like the crowd to go wild one day after I finish teaching a class.
you know – it should — you are one of the unsung heroines
Ah, thanks. I love teaching. I’ve always thought that I learn more from my students than they probably learn from me. At the university where I teach it is customary for the students to say “thank you” at the end of each class. It startled me the first time, but I realized it was just the norm. And what a nice norm to have.
a wonderful norm – by that stage kids should be thankful to their profs
